Happy 16th Birthday, GALILEO!
On September 21, 1995, GALILEO brought index searching and full-text retrieval to the University System of Georgia libraries, students, faculty, and staff. GALILEO has grown and changed a great deal in the last 16 years, and you can see some of these changes in the GALILEO Scrapbook. For more background history, see the Vision for One Statewide Library and Early History of GALILEO under About GALILEO.

GALILEO: Helpful Research Aid
Janice Williams, a librarian at Waycross College, tells us, “GALILEO is a helpful research aid for the students and faculty at Waycross College. I am a Librarian and a member of a Toastmasters Club. When I prepare speech projects, I do my research on GALILEO. I have also used it for family history. I found a ship’s passenger list with relatives who emigrated from Jamaica to New York in 1919 on the Ancestry Library Edition.”
Thank you, Janice, for your support. We are glad to hear that GALILEO is helpful in your personal research an in student and faculty research.
