March is Reading Month, and GALILEO counts. Read magazines and journals, ebooks, and lots of other great content, or look for your next fiction or nonfiction book to read in NoveList Plus. If you work in a library or media center, use readers’ advisory tools in NoveList Plus and NoveList K-8 Plus to help match readers to books. These include Lexile ranges, Accelerated Reader assignments, mood- and subject-matching tools, and lots of tips.

Journals and magazines cover a wide range of content, from camping and bicycling to psychology to science and history for leisure reading. GALILEO databases include titles for children, teens, adults, and everyone in-between.

Remember GALILEO is now device-responsive, making it easy to read articles on tablets and smartphones. Just go to GALILEO and you will be presented with the best interface for your device or computer.

Each community subscribes to at least some ebook that can be read on a reader or device. All GALILEO users have access to the academic collection in ebrary. Higher ed institutions subscribe to ebooks on EBSCOhost. K-12 users have access to a small collection of nonfiction books in SIRS Discoverer.
