Use GALILEO databases to locate full-text articles and citations to articles.

• Use the Subject tabs (at the top of the screen) to identify databases which contain articles in your subject area or
• Search in Academic Search Premier and Research Library, two GALILEO databases that include articles from most subject areas.

Note: You need a password in order to access GALILEO resources off-campus. Use our How to get the GALILEO password guide to obtain the current password.

 

If you locate a citation:

 

1) Search for the full-text of the article in another database

• Use the GALILEO Subject tabs to locate other databases in your subject area or ask a librarian for suggestions of which databases to try.
• UGA Students: Use UGA's Electronic Journal Locator to locate databases which contain the publication you need.
• If you are unable to speak to a librarian, use the Jake website to search for the publication you need. Jake will show you which databases contain full-text articles from that publication. Note: We do not have access to every database included in Jake. Once you identify databases which contain the full-text, search GALILEO's Databases A-Z list to see if the library has access to them.
  
  
  Note: There are currently issues with saving articles in HTML format in EBSCO databases if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer. No such issues exist if you are using Netscape Navigator. For more information, read our workaround.
