GALILEO ASSIGNMENT


GALILEO is short for “Georgia Library Learning Online” which is another way of saying it is ran buy the state of Georgia. Galileo was created to supplement the public library with an online source of information. It has all the amenities as a public library but in an online form. You can search and save millions of documents in the online database. Galileo have a variety of sources to get information from EBooks are electronic books that have been converted from a hard copy book to an digital copy which makes its so much easier to find instead of using call numbers  and looking in the stacks. Galileo also have a selection of online articles that are organized by topics which can be found by just typing key words needed for the topic. An amazing selection of Government Documents can also be seen on Galileo, and those are good for finding out about your country and what’s going on in the world today. Primary Sources is a very important part of any project because a primary source shows the work is original and is accredited and primary sources is also included in Galileo. There are other items that you can use to find information on as archives, statistics, videos, maps, pictures, and dissertations. It organizes information by putting information in an online database so people like me can access different sources of information from the internet. Galileo have millions of article divided in different data bases. And databases is organized in different disciplines this is created so we can go to a particular collection that will cover our topic.  Galileo is a online directory.
