‘Galaxy of Knowledge,’ Smithsonian Libraries’ portal to its
collections and to a wide array of exceptional Internet resources, has
re-launched with an entirely new look and navigational structure.
For full details, a press release is
available in the Smithsonian Libraries' Press Room, located at:
Reminiscent of a cabinet of curiosities, which
formed the nucleus of many contemporary museum collections, Smithsonian
Libraries' 'Galaxy of Knowledge' reflects the specialized fields studied
within the walls of the Smithsonian's 16 museums, its research centers, and
zoological park.
Designed with both the public and the
classroom in mind, the Libraries' collections have tremendous potential for
popular education and entertainment and contain subjects that appeal to museum
visitors as well as to hobbyists, collectors, students and teachers.
