Affordable Learning Georgia supports the implementation of affordable educational resources in the classroom, and these include library resources found within GALILEO's eBook collections provided at zero cost to students. While searching in the main GALILEO Discovery search bar for resources is an effective way to find everything from journal articles and books to videos and archival materials, you can also directly access the collections of textbooks and educational media that ALG has supported.
Library Resource Collections
In the list of resources below, a perpetual collection means that all books in the collection have been licensed for use with no expiration date. Rolling means that books can be added and removed from a collection over time.
Be sure to keep in mind that rolling collections may, at some point, remove a book that you have adopted. If this happens, be sure to contact your library for alternative ways of accessing or acquiring these materials.
