Something new!

GALILEO continues to add and tweak and make the list of resources better for Georgia residents.

On the day after the 4th, the World History Collection caught my eye. It's an Ebsco database described in GALILEO -

"World History Collection contains cover-to-cover full text for more than 130 titles, including many peer-reviewed journals. Full text dates as far back as 1964.

These hand-selected information sources cover a wide range of historical topics including anthropology, art, culture, economics, government, heritage, military, politics, regional issues, and more.

In addition to the full text, indexing and abstracts are provided for all journals in the collection."

The 130 periodical titles range from American Heritage to Wilson Quarterly. The database works just like all the Ebsco databases. You can create Journal Alerts to have the latest periodical sent to your e-mail.

You do need the password to access GALILEO from home. You can get the current password from your Georgia librarian.
