GALILEO

From GALILEO's website:

"GALILEO stands for Georgia Library Learning Online, an initiative of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. GALILEO is an online library portal to authoritative, subscription-only information that isn’t available through free search engines or Web directories. Participating institutions may access over 100 databases indexing thousands of periodicals and scholarly journals. Over 10,000 journal titles are provided in full-text. Other resources include encyclopedias, business directories, and government publications."

GALILEO provides access to authoritative, subscription-only information that is unavailable through free search engines or Web directories.

…and much more!


When you’re in a Middle Georgia Regional Library branch, GALILEO automatically recognizes your authority to access its resources through authenticated IP addresses for our WiFi and computers. 




As of July 1, 2023, GALILEO will no longer support password-only access for institutions that are set up for Single Sign On with OpenAthens. Middle Georgia Regional Library is set up for Single Sign On with OpenAthens.¹

As a Middle Georgia Regional Library card holder, you can access GALILEO using your PINES account instead of using the old GALILEO password system by following these steps:

1. Log into your PINES account with your library card barcode number and pin, or username and password.
2. Select “GALILEO Virtual Library” from the top navigation bar.
3. You will be redirected to GALILEO and will be logged in as your public library system.

Note: If you do not have a PINES card and need access quickly or are not able to travel to your library branch, you can register for a PINES e-card.
