Read and study

After Lincoln became a well-known lawyer, he sometimes received inquiries from people who aspired to become lawyers. He wrote: “Get the books and read and study them till you understand them in their principal features; and that is the main thing….It is of no consequence to be in a large town while you are reading. I read at New Salem, which never had three hundred people living in it. The books, and your capacity for understanding them, are just the same in all places.” April 2004 [More}

In GALILEO articles from thousands of newspapers, journals, and magazines are available. One can create an RSS feed or an e-mail alert in several of the 'big' databases to have current articles delivered as they are made available. With wi-fi, GALILEO is a portable library. One isn't constrained by opening hours or a physical location. keeping Lincoln's remarks in mind, it doesn't matter where you are, just read and study till you understand.

To access this portable treasure ask your Georgia librarian for the current password.
