GALILEO is pretty much all of the libraries in the state of Georgia combined into an online website. It actually stands for Georgia Library Learning Online. It organizes information just how the physical library does. It contains books, articles, videos ect. which all have their specific place. When searching for a book on GALILEO, you can type in the specific book, are just a general topic, example history books on WW1. GALILEO will give the title of the book as well as the call number which allows you find your book on the shelf inside of the library. Another way you can think about how the information is organized is through the use of databases. A database is a is a collection of information organized to provide efficient retrieval. For example, when researching for something through the site you have the option to narrow down what you are looking for. They have a certain information based on History, Science, Medial, Education, Social ect. Within these databases are books, articles and other forms of resources relevant to your topic. Databases are important because it organize the information, and narrows down the search for you. This way you dont have to spend a long amount of time searching to sources directly related to your topic.
