GALILEO is Ready for COMO

Classic Center

COMO is only two weeks away, and we’re getting excited to see you. Come by booth #74 to catch up on what’s going on the GALILEO world. We also hope to see you at the GALILEO concurrent sessions and in the preconference.

The GALILEO preconference is scheduled on Wednesday morning, October 5th, at the Classic Center. Each year, the GALILEO preconference includes concurrent sessions on topics different from those GALILEO staff present at the main COMO conference.

GALILEO Preconference Presentations

  • GALILEO What’s New/Q and A: Okay, this one is included in the greater COMO schedule, but your questions make each presentation different
  • GALILEO 101: The Basics: New GALILEO staff member Russell Palmer will give you a basic introduction to the GALILEO website
  • eBooks in GALILEO: An overview of the eBook offerings from EBSCO, ProQuest, and TumbleBook Library includes a look at content in the different collections and downloading
  • Ancestry Library Edition: This popular genealogy database is subscribed by public and academic libraries. This introduction will be presented by a ProQuest trainer.
  • Explora: This EBSCO resource includes an elementary, middle, and high school edition with interfaces and content appropriate for the audience. Explora is available to all GALILEO communities.

Registration for the preconference is available within the COMO registration. If you are interested in attending only the preconference, or if you are already registered for COMO and want to add the preconference, just select “Preconference Workshops Only” in the “Choose Conference Length” box.
