Good by, so long....

An announcement from GALILEO:
The following databases will be discontinued beginning on July 1, 2009:
-College Source Online (ALL Consortia)
-Literature Online Complete (LION) (Technical Colleges)
-Oxford English Dictionary(Technical Colleges)
-Book Index with Reviews (Technical Colleges)

Fortunately we purchased the Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd ed for our Reference collection. There is a 'free' Oxford online. It obviously isn't as complete as the subscription Oxford.
There are literature databases in GALILEO but none quite like LION...
The admissions office and the guidance counselors can refer you to sources for college information.

Life goes on....

So use these resources while you can....the plug will be pulled June 30th at midnight.
The current password to use GALILEO is available from your Georgia librarian.
