Accessing Online Library Resources
Students, faculty, and staff can access Odum Library's databases and online resources on and off-campus. There are several ways to authenticate (sign-in) and get to the databases and online resources.
On and off-campus, you will be prompted to log in with your MyVSU username and password.
With the switch to OpenAthens, the GALILEO password is no longer required.

Valdosta GALILEO
To access Valdosta’s GALILEO, you will need to log in via OpenAthens
Benefits
- More articles and resources than GoVIEW GALILEO
- Ability to access permalinks sent by librarians
Troubleshooting
We have found that logging in through GoVIEW often overrides any later attempts to log in through OpenAthens.
If you are going to switch between GoVIEW and Valdosta’s GALILEO:
- Access GoView in your browser’s incognito or private browsing mode
- Clear your cookies and cache and restart your browser after using GoVIEW
