How to find what you're looking for!

This week, I wanted to tip you off to a great resource for finding materials about subjects that interest you. Have you ever explored the Cobb County Library website? There's a fabulous network of databases and search engines that allow you to look for just about anything! From biography to history to finance to ... you name it! You can just go to the main page for the Cobb County Library System, then look at the links in the left column under "Collections." Do a little exploring! GALILEO is the main resource you'll find, a database of resources maintained by the University System of Georgia. You can search by topic, category, type of publication, etc. And it's free!!

To make it happen, you'll need your library card and PIN. If you don't know what your PIN is, stop by the library to get that set up. Then you can sign into your account on the Cobb County Library site and gain access to GALILEO's password... then search to your heart's content! Here's the Library's "how to" description for accessing GALILEO:

Alternatively, if you're actually in the library, you can access it all there!

Have fun! Go find something new!

And thanks to Stephanie D. for her experience with this resource!
