23. Digital Library of Georgia: New features
I will call out each one of these features separately here, and then demonstrate one by one in a deeper exploration of the whole site. During the live overview of the site I will highlight and share:
--browsing by county
--browsing on the US Map
--The inline , text, cite and reuse features
--The free to use limiter/feature
--Educational materials
--Generally, site navigation, pointing out how the page is sectioned, including the top scroll, the tabbed area for featured collections, and DLG and me

24. Digital Library of Georgia: Content
Government information
Books
Photographs
Newspapers*
Historical manuscripts
Audio
Video
More!
I’ll use this as an opportunity to give a basic tour of the site, then I’ll focus on the “BROWSE” and “Medium” Options to illustrate how to find specific types of materials by collections, so that this is also a basic collections tour. Clarify that DLG only hosts a small percentage of total digital objects, but COLLECTIONS from other CHO’s are in DLG, and the items in those collections are owned by the holding institution.
