GALILEO Content Changes for 2019-2020

books

Beginning in July, GALILEO users will see several changes to the content/databases available through GALILEO. Although the changes are slated for the beginning of July, some may take place throughout the month.

Keep track of changes by visiting the FY20 Changes Status document. For a detailed summary of your institution’s GALILEO subscription, see the FY20 GALILEO Subscriptions folder. Individual Institutions are grouped by their respective user group’s (GPLS, TCSG, USG, etc.) folder, however Georgia Department of Education, Georgia Independent Schools Association and Georgia Public Library Service are not listed at the institution level.

New Content

WestLaw Campus Research: The USG, TCSG, and various GPALS institutions opted to replace Nexis Uni with WestLawCampus Research. Nexis UNI will remain as an opt-in cost-share resource for various institutions in our AMPALS user group. Here is a breakdown of the WestLaw Campus Research content for subscribing user groups.

  • WestLaw Campus Research: Legal, News, and Business (select GPALS)
  • WestLaw Campus Research: Legal, News, Business, and International (TCSG)
  • WestLaw Campus Research: Legal and International (USG)

PsycARTICLES (EBSCOhost): While this isn’t technically a new resource, PsycARTICLES was previously only available as a cost-share resource. PsycARTICLES will become a USG group resource in FY20.

Content Removal

OCLC WorldCat Discovery: The following suite of OCLC databases will be removed for AMPALS, GPLS, TCSG, and USG on July 1st, 2019. OCLC WorldCat Discovery will continue to be managed centrally for subscribing institutions through GALILEO cost-share. Institutions with local OCLC WMS subscriptions will need to create local GLRI entries for these resources. Please contact GALILEO if you need help with this.
