Beta is getting closer to real!

GALILEO is getting closer to being totally up and running. Librarians have been able to add sites to their portion of GALILEO. The NMTC additions are now active in the NMTC Beta for GALILEO. Wonderful!

Check out the Beta GALILEO. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how delightful it is!

You can get the password to use GALILEO at home from your Georgia Librarian.

Timing is everything

Last week I wrote about Richard Louv's book "Last Child in the Woods". Mike responded with interesting thoughts and resources. Yesterday, I was reading the USA Weekend (Nov 16-18, 2007, pg 8-10) and what should I behold but an article titled "Mother Nature Knows Best" - a panel discussion with Tedd Mitchell, Martha Erickson, and Richard Louv!

I tried to find a link to the article and so far have failed- yes, I went to GALILEO doing a general search - no luck. I did a Google search, too. Lots of MotherNature articles and web sites but not this particular one.

If you find a link- please share.

Remember this would be a great weekend to go outside and play - think of all the fun things to do just outside your door - even for grownups.
