Just like Christmas

Waiting, anticipating, wishing, waiting some more, will the day ever arrive? Some have been waiting for the "new" and "improved" GALILEO to be unveiled.


The wait is over. The scholar interface is here.Wow! The look is intuitive. The color is cool and crisp. I've only been able to play for a few minutes but so far so good.

Look at the search tab- the "Try These First" includes the Encyclopedia Britannica (which is todays spotlighted database). That's very helpful if you're not positive you know the basics about your topic. Going to the Encyclopedia can build your foundation of working knowledge.

Oh boy! I'm going to explore today! I hope you will too.

You will need the current password to use GALILEO at home. Ask your Georgia librarian for the password.
