5th of May

Yes, it is Cinco de Mayo. A Mexican holiday celebrated in America where it seems to be rapidly turning into a Mexican St. Patrick's Day. On the 5th of May everyone is a Mexican no matter where their families came from!

When I did a search in GALILEO for Cinco de Mayo, I ran across results in ProQuest, from Targeted News Service, Washington, D.C. Lots of politicians noting why Cinco de Mayo was important to their constituents.

Intrigued by the publication name - I selected Targeted News Service, clicked on the link, selected publication information:

New Delhi - with all the outsourcing comments that really piqued my curiosity so I did a Google search for Targeted News Service. The About Us introduces the officers. The initial Press Release, October 2002 notes

New Editorial Services Company to Offer Washington Coverage, Range of Support Services for Newspapers, Editors, Databases
WASHINGTON, June 16 -- Targeted News Service, an editorial services company providing focused news products, has been formed by veteran Washington journalist Myron Struck, Kevin Meek, who owns and operates Meek Consulting, and Carol Kaelin, a journalist and former political operative.

You can create an alert or RSS if you'd like to read the Targeted News daily from your mailbox or feed reader!

Fascinating where research leads one- from one thing to another...Cinco de Mayo to news feeds with a home base in India.

And you know you'll need to get the current password to use GALILEO at home from..... your Georgia librarian.
