The view changes a bit

North Metro will be joined by Chattahoochee Tech in Marietta to form the largest technical college in Georgia. Today the President of the new school was announced.

We'll have different resources to talk about!

Now this is a library!

Thanks to The Distant Librarian who thanked Darlene for this portrait of a spectacular personal library noted in Wired.com.

What an amazing space!

Pretty is, as pretty does

Shelving horticulture books is such a pleasure. The pictures are magnificent. I stand and flip through the pages all for the purpose of being able to tell students where the best books on horticulture may be found. At least that's what I tell myself.

Yet, sometimes one can't get to the shelves to peruse the pictures. Our netLibrary collection has 37 titles published by Timber Press. I found them by using the advanced search link in netLibrary and typing in Timber Press for the publisher. There are more books for gardeners in netLibrary just search by your favorite plant!

Hort folks know that Timber Press publishes some 'fine' books for gardeners!

You do need to create your 'free account' (your library card) in netLibrary either on campus or through GALILEO.

And where do you get the current password to use GALILEO? Yes, your Georgia librarian.

Online resources

There is a gas crunch in the Atlanta area. The lack of gas makes our online resources very attractive!

You may use the over 45,000 e-books in netLibrary (register for a netLibrary account at your Georgia library)) and the over 300 Reference books in Credo Reference, not to mention the over 2000 periodicals available through GALILEO(password from your Georgia librarian)!

We do offer a full service library online.
