Discover GALILEO is mobile friendly!

EBSCO Discovery Service, the service that powers Discover GALILEO, and other EBSCOhost databases (e.g., Academic Search Complete, MasterFILE Elite, MAS Ultra, etc.) use mobile detection technology to recognize whether or not users are connecting from a mobile device. Users accessing from mobile phones are automatically directed to the mobile version of the interface. See the Mobile GALILEO handout: http://about.galileo.usg.edu/docs/materials_docs/MobileGALILEO.pdf

Because EBSCO now autodetects mobile devices, the GALILEO links to the EBSCO mobile view are no longer necessary, so we will be removing those from your GALILEO pages tomorrow. If you have added links to the EBSCO mobile view on your library site, please remove these as they will no longer work.

If you have any questions or need more information, please use the GALILEO Contact Us form or contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@usg.edu or 1-888-875-3697.
