Getting ready for St. Paddy's Day!

If you're wondering how many Americans claim Irish heritage...where would you look for a number?

In GALILEO there is a link to Census Data at "The U.S. Census Bureau which offers the most comprehensive demographic data for the United States. The site includes information and statistics on the nation's population, housing, business and manufacturing activity, international trade, farming, and state and local governments." In their search box I typed Irish and lo and behold there is a frequently asked questions link to St. Patrick's Day and the Irish!

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
