Training and Information Sessions
Online orientation sessions are intended to give staff in libraries and media centers a basic introduction to the GALILEO interfaces. Sessions are available for GALILEO Scholar (academic) interface, GALILEO Library (public library or general user) interface, and the three K-12 interfaces. Note that all sessions are open to staff at all GALILEO institutions; the names of the sessions refer to the interface that is being demonstrated and not to the individual GALILEO community.
