Changes are a coming!

Many Georgia librarians met Friday in Athens for the GOLD/GALILEO conference.

Lots of fun references to "Gold being in them thar hills" (you can read about Georgia's Gold rush in The New Georgia Encyclopedia: " By late 1829 north Georgia, known at the time as the Cherokee Nation, was flooded by thousands of prospectors lusting for gold. Niles' Register reported in the spring of 1830 that there were four thousand miners working along Yahoola Creek alone.")

Something that is coming to GALILEO is a search tool that will search through the databases in GALILEO so you don't have to go to each one. This feature will be available in the next year.

Now that's a gold nuggett worth waiting for!

You can get to the New Georgia Encyclopedia through GALILEO or through NGE's own web link http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Home.jsp
