Where did that information come from?

Teachers are regularly telling students to "cite their sources". Those who do family research (genealogy) are also reminded to cite their sources. Where did one find that birthdate or marriage date? The Genealogy blog Family Matters reminds their readers of the wonders of World Cat and its ability to create an MLA or APA citation for you.

--- The "free" World Cat does one thing - lets you know which library has the item you're looking for.


--- The subscription World Cat (available through GALILEO) does much more.

------you may request a book through interlibrary loan

------the Databases tab lets you search through three FirstSearch databases at once

"Free" is great when you only want to find who has the book but the "subscription" version allows you to do much more.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available from your Georgia Librarian.
