Legal Collection is an authoritative source for information on current issues, studies, thoughts, and trends of the legal world. Legal Collection offers full text for more than 250 law journals. This database provides information centered on the discipline of law and legal topics, such as criminal justice, international law, federal law, organized crime, medical, labor & human resource law, ethics, the environment, and much more.
It works like any Ebsco database with Basic Search and Advanced search with limiters. You can search for the publications used in the database by selecting the publications link. RSS and e-mail alerts are standard in Ebsco databases.
You may ask your Georgia librarian for the current password to use GALILEO at home. Select Databases A-Z, L, then Legal Collection.

Where is the journal?
A student came looking for current journals for the computer sciences. They scanned through the limited collection we have of physical periodicals without finding what they wanted. Our extensive access to journals is through the databases in GALILEO. With that in mind, how do you find a specific journal? On Feb 4th I blogged about finding Sports Illustrated. It's fairly easy to search with the Journals A-Z tab.
Ebsco offers another option for finding a specific periodical in its databases. When you go to a description of an Ebsco database in GALILEO, there may be a link to Journals in this Database: EBSCO Title Lists. Clicking on the link takes you to a file with a list of the Ebsco databases. I admit I thought it would just be a list of that particular databases offerings. Next to each database title there is an icon (with text) noting if it's a pdf file, excel file, or html. You can save the pdf and excel file, which gives you access to the list of periodicals without having to go back into GALILEO.
Rather than scroll through the list looking for the database I was interested in, I used the edit and 'find on this page' option to get to the database I wanted.
As I'm writing the description of how to find a specific periodical in a specific Ebsco database, I'm struck by how easy it is to use Journals A-Z in GALILEO to find the database that has a particular magazine!

a perfect heart
I searched our catalog for Valentines Day books. 15 titles were pulled up. I looked for electronic books that I might use right now. In e-brary there is a poetry book titled Valentines by Ted Kooser. This poem seems so appropriate for today.
**************************
A PERFECT HEART
To make a perfect heart you take a sheet
of red construction paper of the type
that’s rough as a cat’s tongue, fold it once,
and crease it really hard, so it feels
as if your thumb might light up like a match,
then choose your scissors from the box. I like
those safety scissors with the sticky blades
as you snip along. They make you careful,
just as you should be, cutting out a heart
for someone you love. Don’t worry that your curve
won’t make a valentine; it will. Rely
on chewing on your lip and symmetry
to guide your hand along with special art.
And there it is at last: a heart, a heart!
