Access Science

There are promotional brochures at the desk for Access Science, one of our newest licensed databases.  You can find it in the A-Z index in GALILEO or here is a direct link:http://www.galileo.usg.edu/express?link=accq-dek1

The database has the content of the multi-volume print McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science, plus some enhancements that are possible in the digital format such as digital animations and hyperlinks to cited and supplemental material.

This license was requested by science faculty from Alpharetta as part of a grant proposal, so you might have students inquiring about it. 

Please try it out and feel free to record any comments or tips in the comments section.

Database Helps: OneClick Digital

In order to remove paper from the desk, I've made a notebook labeled "Database Helps." It's in the lower right cubby when facing the check-out desk. At this point the only database featured is OneClick digital, our new streaming audio database.  The easy instructions for set up are there, AND so is a list of books frequently used in the curriculum that are available in OneClick.  Please also notice the nice display on OneClick near the workroom door. (Thanks, Barbara Naumann!)

As we get other helpful materials on databases, we will add them to the notebook.  If there is a database that you need some support with, please let me know, and I'd be glad to find some helps for you.

As promised, here are the step-by-step instruction to help users get established in OneClick and ready to listen to their audio books:
