Day 5
This is Day 5 of the Tuesday/Thursday classes for this quarter. The Librarian shares how to use GALILEO to the Introduction to Computers classes (SCT 100) on Day 5.
We're using the demo of the updated GALILEO "at http://purl.galileo.usg.edu/demo. This implementation represents an effort to incorporate the WebFeat federated search box into the current GALILEO environment and to put in place the infrastructure that allows
launching a search from GALILEO into WebFeat." You will love how it searches multiple databases at once!

A sailing we will go
Ships for Victory
J.A. Jones Construction Company and Liberty Ships in Brunswick, Georgia
"The online collection consists of eighty-four black-and-white photographs from the J.A. Jones Construction Company collection at the Brunswick-Glynn County Library that depict the company’s World War II cargo ship building activities in its Brunswick, Georgia shipyard from 1943 to 1945. The images document the life cycle of the Liberty and Knot ships built in Brunswick: from keel-laying and hull construction to christening and launch. Construction techniques are visible in many of the photographs, and several images feature the shipyard’s male and female laborers and management staff. In addition, the launch photographs feature ship sponsors and other dignitaries. Of particular note is a series of photographs depicting Christmas Day, 1944, when the shipyard workers volunteered to work through the holiday, donating their time-and-a-half pay as a Christmas gift to the nation.

Easy searching
There is a resource in GALILEO noted for Middle School and High School students called Student Research Center (by EbscoHost)- #162 in the NMTC list. The magazines that are indexed are not what I would limit to Middle School and High School (Economist, US News & World Report, New Republic, Newsweek to name a few).
This particular database is "prettier" than the straight EbscoHost and feels friendlier. If you're looking for current events and history this might be the database to use. Advanced search offers you several ways to focus your search-including by reading level.

Winter chills
It's warm, it's cold, it's sunny, it's cloudy...the weather is so peculiar. You're cooped up with all sorts of folks, can't open the windows to clear out the air. Germs, flu bugs, colds.....now you're sick. How do you feel better?
There are several medical resources on GALILEO.
Alt Health Watch (part of EbscoHost) "focuses on the many perspectives of complementary, holistic and integrated approaches to health care and wellness. This database provides full text for articles from more than 180 international and often peer-reviewed journals, reports and proceedings, as well as association and consumer newsletters. In addition, Alt HealthWatch includes hundreds of pamphlets, booklets, special reports, original research and book excerpts...The majority of the full text titles included in the database are available in native (searchable) PDF, or scanned-in-color.

Do you remember?
Did you browse through old family pictures over the holiday? Sharing stories, laughing, crying, remembering what was? Remembering. Pictures help us remember.
Vanishing Georgia (#170 on the NMTC list in GALILEO) "comprises nearly 18,000 photographs. Ranging from daguerreotypes to Kodachrome prints, the images span over 100 years of Georgia history. The broad subject matter of these photographs, shot by both amateurs and professionals, includes, but is not limited to, family and business life, street scenes and architecture, agriculture, school and civic activities, important individuals and events in Georgia history, and landscapes."

New books!
Before Christmas we ordered books for the library! The boxes are arriving.
One new title "Born Losers: A History of Failure" tells the story of American failure. Our greatest fear is being a failure. This book tells the cultural history of American failures.
On the bright side, we purchased "The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness". This sequel to "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey takes the reader on the next step to success.
Come by the library and check out these new books!
