Keywords to try

Searching GALILEO is a bit different than searching GOOGLE. It's tricky to find the right words to describe your topic. Persistence is key! If your first search doesn't bring the results you want, try another one with different words. Here are some keywords to try:

**Use quotation marks around phrases (example: "3D printing")

emerging technology
technology
3D printing
drones, unmanned aerial vehicles
mobile technology
robotics
video game design
programming

The Technology Nest, in the Athens campus library, is a lab and development space with software and equipment supporting 3D printing, multimedia design, mobile and game development, video production, coding/programming, electronics, and other technology. The “Nest” provides current students, faculty, and staff a safe space to learn and explore these technologies. The libraries on Elbert and Walton campuses also have 3D printers and other technology.

The purpose of the Technology Nest is to support and enhance learning by sparking students’ interest in emerging technologies.
