GALILEO was developed as a statewide virtual library and electronic resource sharing platform to ensure universalaccess to all Georgians regardless of geographic location or demographic – from the smallest town to the largest city. With roots right here at CSU, GALILEO was developedhere with then library director and now GALILEO’s executive director Merryll Pensonleading the charge. In 1998, Georgia Interconnected Libraries (GIL) goes live to implement libraryautomation allowing users to search the library catalog virtually instead of sifting through the seemingly endless card catalog. A few years later in 2001, GIL Express went live, connecting USG Libraries and creating a true universal and shared library for all USGpatrons. GALILEO is still evolving today with continual updates providing new resourcesand services.
