How to access Galileo off-campus

How to Log In

On January 21, the Ina Dillard Russell Library will go live with OpenAthens. OpenAthens is a new, more secure way to access library and GALILEO resources using your existing MyGCSU credentials. The Galileo password will no longer be needed! 

What will change?

You will now be able to use your MyGCSU credentials to access library resources when off campus.  

While on campus, you’ll continue to login into library databases via Galileo automatically.  

  1. Log into https://my.gcsu.edu with your credentials
  2. In the Service Apps section, select the GALILEO button or search for GALILEO in the Service Apps search bar and select the GALILEO link.   

Logging in grants you access to Galileo, where you can find articles, newspapers, photos, videos, and more.  

If you have any issues or questions, contact the library at 478-445-4047 or email the library at circ@gcsu.edu.
