Cyclorama

What, exactly, do you do with a 130-year-old work of art, mythmaking and Civil War history that is longer than a football field, more than 40 feet tall and urgently in need of a new home?
This city is finding out. After decades of deepening disrepair and disinterest in the painting commonly known as the Atlanta Cyclorama, workers this month are moving the panorama as part of a $35 million plan to rescue and maintain a titanic, deteriorating example of an art form that has mostly disappeared.

What Are Library Databases, and Why Do You Need Them?
​
Why Should I Use a Library Database Instead of the Internet? 
​​


+Using quality information in the papers you write reflects well on you, and your work
+Library databases contain credible and reliable sources
– on the internet the information is not evaluated for accuracy and may be incorrect, misleading, or biased
+Library databases offer stable information – on the Internet websites come and go
+Library database articles are written by experts in their field - on the Internet any one can create a website or blog

+Library databases offer options to quickly limit or expand your search - the Internet is a vast ocean of information with no organizational structure
+Library databases have many types of tools available such as Citation help

+Many of the best articles are not available for free on the Internet, but with when you use library databases you have access to articles worth over $500,000.
