GALILEO: Helping Libraries Thrive in Tough Times

The 2010 State of America’s Libraries report shows that the recession is driving more people to libraries in search of employment resources, but that funding isn’t keeping up with demand. For libraries in Georgia, GALILEO offers tools and resources to help libraries optimize the services they offer. Here are some examples.

  • Fill in collection gaps with books, magazines, and other content
  • Reduce duplicate subscriptions
  • Take advantage of reference resources, including current medical reference books and literary criticism
  • Extend your library hours since GALILEO is 24/7. It’s like having an extra branch.

Check out the flyer to the right for more tips on ways GALILEO resources not only help libraries but also ways librarians can help their patrons facing tough times.
