Numbers tell a story

Scanning the links in GALILEO, I noticed the Census Data link. The census site is available through the "regular" web. Having the link in GALILEO makes it easier to remember to use the resource.

I tell folks that GALILEO is a library - just like the name tells us - GeorgiA LIbrary LEarning Online. Libraries offer a variety of resources!

Back to the Census Data - they offer links to PDF files with row after row of numbers. It reminds me of the Almanac- you are surprised by the esoteric statistic. Who would have thought they counted or measured or tallied "that"?

The numbers do a tell a story!
