GALILEO FY 2012 Additions and Changes
We are happy to announce that GALILEO will be able to maintain most current GALILEO core database offerings for FY2012 in spite of significant budget cuts, if the budget stands as allocated. This is possible because many GALILEO vendors have provided pricing concessions for a third year in a row.
Unfortunately, some consortia have had to cancel database subscriptions because of budget shortfalls. Below is a list of cancellations for FY2012 by consortia:
Atlanta-Macon Private Academic Libraries (AMPALS)
- Book Index with Reviews
Georgia Private Academic Libraries (GPALS)
- Book Index with Reviews
Georgia Public Libraries
- Oxford Art Online
K-12 Private Schools (GISA)
- Oxford Art Online
K-12 Public Schools
- Oxford Art Online
Technical College System of Georgia
- Oxford Art Online
University System of Georgia
- Oxford Art Online
- Book Index with Reviews (EBSCOhost)
- Britannica Resources*
*some USG institutions have purchased Britannica resources via GALILEO
cost-share.
We are working with vendors to make all changes in a timely manner. Because of licensing procedures, some database changes will not occur until after July 1, 2012. Please see the FY2012 Cancellations Listing by Database for a complete listing of database cancellations along with their associated GALILEO Express Links. Further updates will be posted to GALILEO News. So, please check back.
Finally, we are pleased to welcome three new private K-12 (GISA) institutions to GALILEO :
- Harvester Christian Academy
- Whitefield Academy
- Mount Vernon Presbyterian School
As always we appreciate your support of GALILEO over this past year, and we look forward to serving you in the future. If you have any questions or comments about the FY2012 changes, please submit a comment to GALILEO Support Services via our Contact Us form.
