What is GALILEO?

GALILEO (Georgia Library Learning Online) is an initiative of the University System of Georgia, initially funded by Governor Zell Miller and the General Assembly in 1995, with continuing funding from Governor Roy Barnes and the General Assembly for the Citizens of Georgia.

GALILEO is available for public use in the Library. It is also available in all on-campus computer labs and from all faculty offices. Just point your browser to http://galileo.usg.edu.
