What is Galileo?
GALILEO is a collection of databases provided by GHC and the University System of Georgia.
What is a Database?
A DATABASE is searchable collection of online subscription resources (journals, images, videos, and sometimes whole books); usually material that is not available through free search engines like Google
What is a Journal?
A JOURNAL is a regularly published "magazine", usually related to an academic discipline, often containing articles, book reviews, and other material about the subject
What is an Article?
An ARTICLE is a single written work published in a journal or magazine
Still Confused?
Think of a filing cabinet. The whole cabinet is Galileo. A single drawer is a database. A folder within the drawer is a journal (or a book!). A piece of paper within a folder is an article (or a book chapter!)
