The Georgia Knowledge Repository (GKR), an Initiative of GALILEO, is a rich database of open access digital scholarship from institutions around the state of Georgia. The GKR is now available through GALILEO:

The GKR brings together research, scholarly and archival content from institutional repositories at the following Georgia colleges and universities:

Albany State University
College of Coastal Georgia
Columbus State University
Georgia Gwinnett College
Georgia Institute of Technology
Georgia Regents University
Georgia Southern University
Georgia State University
Kennesaw State University
University of Georgia
Valdosta State University

Information in the GKR includes scholarly articles, reports and papers, presentations and speeches, theses and dissertations, administrative and archival material, and other selected content representing the scholarly output of these institutions. The GKR is browsable by academic discipline or by institution, and keyword searching (including some full text) is available.

Development of the GKR is supported by a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, led by the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Georgia and GALILEO. The GKR program supports the development of institutional repositories at Georgia colleges and universities, through outreach and education, metadata guidelines and practices, and content submission by students of library and archival studies at Valdosta State University and Clayton State University. The GKR program supports open access scholarship and provides programming for Open Access Week (October 21-27, 2013).

Plans are underway to add Dalton State College and other Georgia institutions with repositories to the GKR. If your institution is planning to start a repository and would like to participate in GKR, please click the Contact link from the GKR site.
