Education and MAT Guide to the Library  

If you are off campus and need access to GALILEO, see the GALILEO Password and Off-Campus Access page.

Many of the links on these pages go to subscription resources which are restricted to Oglethorpe students, faculty, and staff. To access these resources from off-campus you need the GALILEO password and sometimes the proxy password.

This guide is intended to give Oglethorpe University MAT students and those researching education topics a starting point for their research. If you have any suggestions you would like to be included on this guide, or if you would like additional research assistance, please email the librarian (librarian@oglethorpe.edu).
