A Valuable Partnership

Virginia Moreland, College Librarian at Agnes Scott College, explains the benefits of GALILEO: “This arrangement benefits everyone. The private college students (including many Georgia citizens) get access to GALILEO resources at their home campuses, and their libraries benefit from advantageous prices available through the statewide enterprise. GALILEO benefits, because the private institutions pay their own way and add the clout of more FTEs in price negotiations with vendors. Finally, the publicly supported institutions of higher education benefit because they are not inundated with students from private colleges who might otherwise come to them for GALILEO access. This is a valuable partnership for all concerned.” (2001)
