GALILEO’s Kids Page!
This kid-friendly interface includes Internet resources appropriate for elementary and middle school-aged children. The Galileo Kids’ Page is easy to access from home. Passwords are available from public school media centers and Georgia’s public libraries.
Kids’ Page databases include the following:
SIRS Discoverer – In addition to full-text articles from more than 1,600 magazines, newspapers, and government documents, this database includes a robust picture collection, biographies, facts about countries, maps, an encyclopedia, and the World Almanac for Kids. Search results indicate reading level (general, easy, moderate, challenging).
Searchasaurus (EBSCOhost) – Two different article databases make up Searchasaurus: Primary Search for elementary school students and Middle Search Plus for middle school students. You’ll also find a dat5abase of pictures on encyclopedia, EBSCO’s Animal Encyclopedia, and a dictionary.
Middle Search Plus (EBSCOhost) – Students ready to step up to a more sophisticated search and navigation will benefit from this database. The content is the same as that in the Searchasaurus Middle Search version, but the interface is the regular EBSCOhost “adult” interface with more search options.
Digital Library of Georgia – A gateway to multiple databases on Georgia’s history and culture in digitized books, manuscripts, photographs, and images. DLG databases are great sources of primary documents and resources for studying history, social studies, and Georgia history and culture.
