What do we have?

We are blessed with multiple resources in GALILEO. Regularly users say to me that they can't find anything in GALILEO. GALILEO is a library. It's not a single source. Just like in the physical library there are many places to look for information.

The physical library has a catalog that serves as the index for the collection. The Databases A-Z tab is the closest thing to a catalog for GALILEO.

- You may select the all databases link and scroll through the list. I do that a lot. I like stumbling upon a new resource. It reminds me of browsing through a shelf of books. This doesn't work well when you absolutely, positively need an article!
- You may click on letters to see the resources that start with that letter. You do have to have an idea of what you might be looking for.
- There's a search box where you can use keywords to search through the list. This is the closest to a catalog tool. It searches through the list and pulls up various resources for you to choose from.

If you're not sure which resource will suit your needs, there's a more >> link which opens a description of the resource. When I describe a resource in the blog, I'll use the GALILEO description.

There is a plethora of information in GALILEO. It can be overwhelming at first glance. The Databases A-Z tab will help you find the best resource to use for your information needs.
