GALILEO Resources for Women’s History Month

Posted on by


In honor of Women’s History Month, here are a few resources in GALILEO to help you find the stories of women throughout history.

Middle and high school students can start by looking for a woman in the Discover GALILEO search box. Try finding Susan B. Anthony, Marie Curie, Helen Keller, Sally Ride, Coretta Scott King, Sonia Sotomayor, Jane Goodall, and others. For some major events in women’s history, look for women’s rights, women suffrage, women work*, feminism, or other topics of interest. For literary criticism, type in the title of a book or author names with the term literary criticism; for example, emily dickinson literary criticism or to kill a mockingbird literary criticism.
Tip: If you are getting a lot of book reviews in the results, use Limit by Type to remove reviews (click Show More to see all types, click Check all, then uncheck Reviews). You can also use Limit by Type to only see magazine and news articles (they have an easier reading level), primary source documents, or multimedia (choose Videos, Audio, or Non-Print Resources).

Next, explore Encyclopædia Britannica‘s spotlight on women, the Encyclopædia Britannica Profiles 300 Women Who Changed the World. There, students will find an illustrated timeline of women throughout history along with articles, essays, speeches, video clips, and learning activities.

For speeches, letters, and other primary source documents, search for women in Annals of American History to see a letter from Horace Greeley on women’s rights or a declaration of rights for women from Susan B. Anthony.

A quick search of SIRS Discoverer (elementary and middle school) will bring back news and magazine articles, images, and more. SIRS Discoverer also includes a spotlight for Women’s History Month, so click the Spotlight of the Month feature at the bottom of the SIRS Discover home page to investigate this (scroll to the bottom of the Spotlight page to see archives).

NoveList and NoveList K-8 offer book recommendations for all ages. Here is a tip to find fiction books by women. Go the Advanced Search, leave the search box blank (or type in a topic of your choice), and choose Female in the Author’s Gender field to see a list of books.

Want to meet important women in Georgia? Take a look at the Women of Distinction in Georgia feature in the New Georgia Encyclopedia. Your students can read about interesting women like Mary Musgrove, Hazel Raines, Rosalyn Carter, Alice Walker, and many more fascinating women. Students can also see Famous Georgia Women in GeorgiaInfo.

GALILEO Resources for Black History Month

Posted on by


Black History Month will soon be here, and GALILEO has quite a few great resources to share with students and teachers.

Start by entering a person or event associated with African American history in the new Discover GALILEO searchbox in GALILEO High School or GALILEO Teen, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Zora Neale Hurtson, Civil Rights Movement, Selma Montgomery March, Harlem Renaissance, African American arts, and more. Elementary students can search for topics in Britannica Elementary, SIRS Discoverer, or Kids Search.

The Civil Rights Digital Library (CRDL) offers a variety of primary sources and education materials on the Civil Rights Movement, including films clips, images, oral histories, and more. Don’t miss the Educator Resources, especially the Freedom on Film site, for lesson plans and more.

For a look at the history of African Americans in Georgia, the Digital Library of Georgia offers historical images (Vanishing Georgia in particular), newspapers, and more. You can browse by your county or by subject (such as Peoples and Cultures) to see collections. Several collections of note are “Integrated in All Respects”: Ed Friend’s Highlander Folk School Films and the Politics of Segregation; Community Art in Atlanta, 1977-1987: Jim Alexander’s Photographs of the Neighborhood Arts Center from the Auburn Avenue Research Library; and The Blues, Black Vaudeville, and the Silver Screen, 1912-1930s.

As always, Encyclopædia Britannica offers authoritative information on famous African Americans and historical events. Don’t miss the spotlight on Black History because Britannica has pulled together a nice collection of biographies, documents, multimedia, learning activities, and more.

SIRS Discoverer (for elementary and middle school) offers a spotlight on Black History Month. Just click the Spotlight of the Month at the bottom of the screen and then scroll down to see the Spotlight Archives. Students can also search either resource for “African American” or for names, events, or places to find articles and multimedia.

NoveList and NoveList K-8 offer book recommendations for all age and grade levels. Search for African Americans to see books, lists, and articles related to this topic. If you use the Advanced Search, you can limit your search to books written by African American authors. Hint: Leave the search box blank and choose African-American in the Author’s Cultural Identity field to see a list of books by African American authors. Check out the Teaching with Books section on the right of the main page in NoveList to see award lists (including the Coretta Scott King Awards), BookTalks, Book Discussion Guides, Picture Book Extenders, and curriculum-based lists.

GALILEO has provided a training session showing these resources. You can view the archive for this session and others on the Self-Guided Sessions page.

As always, if you have questions or comments, please Contact Us.

Resources for Students: How Does a Bill Become Law in Georgia?

Posted on by

billtolaw
With the Georgia General Assembly in session, we will soon be seeing news stories about bills going through the Georgia House of Representatives or the Georgia State Senate. If you would like resources for explaining this process of how a bill becomes law in Georgia to students, here are a few resources for you.

GeorgiaInfo provides a graphic with the steps to pass a law in Georgia, and the New Georgia Encyclopedia provides a more detailed explanation. The Georgia General Assembly also offers an outline on tracking a bill through the General Assembly. To help students learn about the legislative process, GPB Education has provided Five Ways to Introduce Students to the Georgia Legislature.

For more resources, see the State Government section in GALILEO High School.

Please share these with your social studies teachers.

Please Contact Us if you have questions or comments or if you need to report problems.

GALILEO Resources for International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Posted on by


In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly designated January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a memorial day for the victims of the Jewish Holocaust.

GALILEO provides several resources with images, videos, articles, and more to help us remember the events of that time.

Use the new Discover GALILEO search box in GALILEO High School or GALILEO Teen to search for articles as well as historical images and videos. Search for Jewish Holocaust or any related person, place, or event, such as Adolf Hitler, Auschwitz, or Nuremberg Trials. Elementary students can search for topics in Britannica Elementary, SIRS Discoverer, or Kids Search.

Encyclopædia Britannica offers a special spotlight titled Reflections on the Holocaust with encyclopedia articles, images, videos, educational materials, and much more.

For book recommendations, search NoveList or NoveList K-8 for Jewish Holocaust to find books for all ages. The NoveList editors also offer suggested book lists for grades 3-5, grades 6-8, teens, and adults as well as a list of picture books for grades 3-8.

For a Georgia perspective, browse or search Georgia historical newspaper, the Southern Israelite, in the Digital Library of Georgia. The Southern Israelite covers not only the news of Jews in the southern United States, but also the issues that involved Jewish populations throughout the nation and world. For news articles related to the Jewish Holocaust, search for “Nazi holocaust” or extermination.

You can also view the archive of a webinar on Holocaust Resources in GALILEO.

A Few Search Tips for Discover GALILEO

Posted on by

If you’ve visited GALILEO High School or GALILEO Teen recently, you’ve probably noticed the new search box. Discover GALILEO is a new way to search across the GALILEO resources. It’s a quick, easy way for students to find articles on any topic.

Here are a few search tips to share with teachers and students.

*Search for All Words*
Discover GALILEO automatically searches for all the words that a user types in the search box. For example, if a user types in dropout prevention, it looks for dropout AND prevention in the full text of the article and in the citation information.

*Quotation Marks*
Discover GALILEO looks for all words typed in the search box, but if users want them to appear together, they can use quotation marks. For example, searching for acid rain may bring back some unrelated articles, but a search for “acid rain” will provide articles more related to the topic.

Using quotation marks works well for names such as “Mary Musgrove” or “Rosa Parks.” Without the quotes, the system may find articles about other women named Mary or Rosa, but adding the quotation marks makes it more likely the article will be about the person. Just a warning, students may also need to check for different forms of a name, for example, “General Sherman,” “William Sherman,” or “William T. Sherman.”

Quotation marks also help if a user is looking for a specific article. Adding quotation marks around the title of an article makes it more likely to appear at the top of search results.

*Truncation*
Truncation characters helps students search for different word roots, spelling variations, or plural forms of words. The asterisk (*) is the truncation character for Discover GALILEO. So, if a student searches for pollut*, he or she will get articles that include pollution, pollutes, polluted, pollutants, and other forms of the word.

Hobbies and Interests for the Grown-Ups in GALILEO

Posted on by

Last month, we provided resources to keep students occupied on rainy days during the summer, but we know the adults might want some things to do, too. So, let’s take a look at ways to find hobbies and other personal interests in GALILEO.

The GALILEO Library view includes resources and topics for the general public. K-12 teachers, staff, and students have access to these using the GALILEO password for your school.

Magazines for Hobbies, Fitness, and More
MasterFILE Premier includes magazine articles about many hobbies and interests, such as gardening, entertainment, pets, sewing, cooking, sports, fitness, and more.

To find particular magazines, go to Magazines A-Z and search for it by title or search for a topic. Here are a few examples of magazines you can find in GALILEO: Baseball Digest, Bicycling, Consumer Reports, Country Living Dream Homes, Discover, Ebony, Entertainment Weekly, Essence, Golf Digest, Harper’s Magazine, House Beautiful, Joe Weider’s Muscle and Fitness, Outdoor Life, People, Runners World, Shape, Skiing, Sports Illustrated, This Old House, Vanity Fair, Woodworker’s Journal.

Travel
If you plan to travel in Georgia, the New Georgia Encyclopedia and GeorgiaInfo are excellent sources of information about cities and towns in Georgia, including history and some points of interest about each place. If you’re traveling outside of Georgia, Encyclopædia Britannica has information about other states and countries, including maps, historical information, quick facts, and places of interest, and MasterFILE Premier includes articles and information about different places for travelers. Also check with your public library for travel guides for an area you’d like to visit.

Ancestry
For those interested in researching their family history, the public libraries in Georgia have access to genealogy resources, such as HeritageQuest Online. Every Georgia citizen has access to GALILEO through his or her public library, so check with your public library to obtain your public library GALILEO password and for other genealogy resources the public library may offer.

History
History buffs may also be interested in Georgia history. New Georgia Encyclopedia, Digital Library of Georgia, and GeorgiaInfo are excellent sources for all things Georgia – past and present, including people, places, culture, and more.

Reading
Finally, NoveList is a great source of recommendations to find books to read on the beach – or anywhere. Just search for a topic or a favorite book and author to find books as well as recommendations for similar books and authors.

As always, if you have questions or comments or need to report any problems with GALILEO resources, please Contact Us.

Poetry Resources in GALILEO

Posted on by

Are your students studying rhythm and rhyme? From the ancients to recent Pulitzer Prize winners, students can find poetry criticism, poet biographies, full-text poems, images, and more in Literary Reference Center. And, when they are trying to figure out what onomatopoeia means, Literary Reference Center also includes a literary glossary for that.

If you’re looking for a poem for Poem in Your Pocket Day on Thursday, April 26, 2012, here’s a quick tip for finding poems. In Literary Reference Center, go to Advanced Search and type “poem” in the search field (or a topic that you like) and then limit your search to Poem in the Document Types section. Click the Search button, and you have thousands of poems at your fingertips.

Elementary and middle students can find fun poetry activities in SIRS Discoverer. Search for “poetry” and look for the red “a” code that indicates articles with activities. Students will also find editorially-selected websites and articles about poets and poetry.

Students of all ages can also write a poem about their own hometown and create a digital story to share their personal narratives in the activities outlined by the Where I’m From in GALILEO lesson plan. See the GALILEO site for the lesson plan, poem template, GPS alignments, guides to resources and tools, and an example video and poster.

Teachers, media specialists, and other school personnel can find classroom activities and lesson plans in ERIC. Search for “poetry and activity” and limit by grade level in Advanced Search. Check both ERIC@eric.ed.gov and ERIC@EBSCOhost – each may have different items in full text. Professional Development Collection also includes research articles and practical guidance for the teaching of poetry. Just search for “poetry study,” “poetry slams,” or a favorite poetry-related term.

Find plenty of interesting Georgia poets in the New Georgia Encyclopedia. Browse to Literature > Poetry to see the list. Several of the poets have video and audio clips included with the article, so don’t miss David Bottoms talking about metaphor or the reading of Sidney Lanier’s “The Marshes of Glynn.”

See the archived Poetry Resources in GALILEO webinar in the Archived Sessions section of GALILEO Training and download the handout from the Presentation and Materials page.

GALILEO Resources for Women’s History Month

Posted on by


In honor of Women’s History Month, here are a few resources in GALILEO to help you find the stories of women throughout history.

First, explore Encyclopædia Britannica‘s spotlight on women, the Encyclopædia Britannica Profiles 300 Women Who Changed the World. There, students will find an illustrated timeline of women throughout history along with articles, essays, speeches, video clips, and learning activities.

For speeches, letters, and other primary source documents, search for women in Annals of American History to see a letter from Horace Greeley on women’s rights or a declaration of rights for women from Susan B. Anthony.

A quick search of SIRS Discoverer (elementary and middle school) or SIRS Researcher (high school) will bring back news and magazine articles, images, and more. SIRS Discoverer also includes a spotlight for Women’s History Month, so click the Spotlight of the Month feature at the bottom of the SIRS Discover home page to investigate this (scroll to the bottom of the Spotlight page to see archives). SIRS Researcher includes an extensive leading issues feature about Women’s Rights with a detailed timeline, global perspectives, statistics, and more. Search for women’s rights to see this. To see the spotlight on Women’s History Month, go to the Databases Features tab and choose Spotlight On… to see the spotlights. Scroll down and go to the 2011 Archive to see current and past spotlights.

A search for women in History Reference Center reveals articles about Amelia Earhart and other women aviators, about women in space, about female athletes, about women living the pioneer life on the frontier, and much more. Don’t miss the historical images and videos to the right of the search results.

To see even more images than what is available in Britannica, SIRS, or History Reference Center, check out Images at EBSCOhost. Just search for women or for a name, place, or event to see historical and present-day images.

For literary criticism of works by women, search Literary Reference Center for a title, author, or theme. Here’s a tip to limit your search to articles related to works by female authors. Go to Advanced Search, leave the search box blank, and choose Female in the Literary Author’s Gender field. You can then click the Biographies tab in the search results to see a list of authors or click on Plot Summaries to see a list of works. This tip also works in NoveList and NoveList K-8 to find a list of female authors. Or, you can search NoveList for a name, title, or theme to find book recommendations.

Want to meet important women in Georgia? Take a look at the Women of Distinction in Georgia feature in the New Georgia Encyclopedia. Your students can read about interesting women like Mary Musgrove, Hazel Raines, Rosalyn Carter, Alice Walker, and many more fascinating women. Students can also see Famous Georgia Women in GeorgiaInfo.
