The 2020 GALILEO Annual User Survey opens TODAY! It will run Nov. 6 20. We would like to hear from a lot of users in different library communities. This year, you will have a chance to win one of two Amazon gift cards. The annual survey has been conducted since 1996 and is important both in raising awareness about GALILEO and in helping us keep up with users’ likes and dislikes, concerns and visions. In the past year, your feedback has been critical in deciding how GALILEO would be redesigned. Survey link: https://survey.usg.edu/s3/Annual-Survey-2020

Hallowe'en ~ Joel Benton Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite All are on their rounds to-night, In the wan moon’s silver ray... Thrives their helter-skelter play. Fond of cellar, barn, or stack True unto the almanac, They present to credulous eyes Strange hobgoblin mysteries. Cabbage-stumpsstraws wet with dew Apple-skins, and chestnuts too, And a mirror for some lass Show what wonders come to pass. Doors they move, and gates they hide Mischiefs that on moonbeams ride Are their deeds,and, by their spells, Love records its oracles. Don’t we all, of long ago By the ruddy fireplace glow, In the kitchen and the hall, Those queer, coof-like pranks recall? Every shadows were they then But to-night they come again; Were we once more but sixteen Precious would be Hallowe’en.
