Consolidation of Databases

Please note this post from the GSU Library Intranet. (Remember to log in and read that often!)

From Kat Hart:
On Wednesday, May 18th Perimeter College and GSU-Atlanta’s GALILEO Database A-Z lists will be merged – this does NOT affect PC and GSU-Atlanta’s LibGuides database lists.
GALILEO Database A-Z lists must be merged in conjunction with the consolidation of PC and GSU-Atlanta’s catalogs. Both library websites will point to the same GALILEO Database A-Z list. All records will be branded with the GSU logo but there will be duplicate entries for some resources. Perimeter College resources will be tagged with “(Perimeter College)” in their title. PC users should use these links because PC databases will route through PC’s proxy server (GSU databases will route through GSU’s proxy server).
Collection Development is still in the process of negotiating resources so, as resources are renewed, duplicate entries will be removed from the combined GALILEO A-Z list if applicable.
If there are access problems, please be as specific as possible in your help desk tickets. Include URLs, screenshots and most importantly, the starting point (GALILEO link on PC library website, PC LibGuide E-Resources A-Z list, GSU Database A-Z list, EDS, the catalog, etc.).
If you have any questions, please contact Kat Hart, Electronic and Continuing Resources Librarian.

From Pat Z:
Essentially, all databases for which GPC had a license will still require GPC username and password until full consolidation later this summer. All GALILEO resources will need the GSU password beginning May 18th.  If you have questions about the GSU password, look at the Ref Desk.
