GALILEO Workstation Use Policy
University System of Georgia


GALILEO (Georgia Library Learning Online) is an initiative of
the University System of Georgiafunded by Governor Zell Miller and the General Assembly for the Citizens of Georgia. GALILEO workstations are provided for the direct use by the public of GALILEO services and other information resources that support the curriculum and research activities of University System institutions. So that workstations are readily and easily accessible for information retrieval by all library users, libraries may establish priorities for use and time limits.

Approved September 5, 1995 by the University System of Georgia Steering Committee
