New Semester & New GALILEO Password: Ah, what would a new semester be without a new GALILEO password? An old one, I guess. The UGA GALILEO password will change NEXT MONDAY, August 19th, and if no one posts it to Facebook or Twitter, is scheduled to remain in effect until January 3rd, 2014.

Having trouble getting the password? Visit this link to access the GALILEO password. If you have problems with this, please contact Carla Wilson Buss or Access Services for assistance. Please don’t sit there, just being mad. We can help.

Schedule a Library Instruction Session for Your Classes: Keep librarians off the streets by inviting Nadine Cohen or Carla Wilson Buss to come to your class to help guide your students to better resources for research. Individual sessions are also available by contacting us.
New “New Book” List: The Ps have been added to the lists of new books. Literacy often shows up in the Ps, so this list will now appear weekly as well. The Ps are also where you’ll find literature and books on language. Visit the Main Library’s third floor to see them in person.
Activist Guide to Archiving Video: Ruta Abolins, Director of the Peabody Archives & Media Department in the Libraries, shared this link from the Library of Congress. To quote from Mike Ashenfelder’s article, “The human rights organization, witness.org, — who gave a presentation at Digital Preservation 2013 — just published The Activists’ Guide to Archiving Video. Though this guide is intended for human rights activists, it covers all aspects of digital video archiving so thoroughly that it is of value to anyone and everyone, from individuals archiving their personal videos to organizations developing digital video archives.” Start & film your own revolution.
NPR & Human Books: Here’s a link for an interesting article from All Things Considered about how some public libraries are, well, fishing for patrons and expanding their collections of resources to include Human Books.
Bulldog Book Club Schedule: If you’re looking for a book club to join, the Libraries can help. Join the Bulldog Book Club. It’s open to everyone and free. Of course.
Where ARE Those New Books? With all the renovations to the Libraries of late, you may be having trouble finding the New Books shelves.

In the Main Library, they are to the left when you enter. Go past the entrance to ‘Tween the Pages and the New Books will be proudly displayed in the first few shelves. The Leisure Collection is next, followed by Current Periodicals.
In the Science Library, the New Books are also to the left as you enter the gates, just past the display cases.
The CML’s New Books are to the right of the Service Desk, cleverly marked, New Books.

E-School News & Pearson’s Searchable Catalog of Open Educational Resources: E-School News reports that Pearson’s, the textbook publisher, has collected more than 700,000 free resources for educators.
