The password changes each semester. Currently enrolled students, currently employed faculty and staff, or GPC retirees may request the password online, through "My Account" in GIL@GPC, or they may receive the password in person from any GPC Library Reference Desk. You must have a valid GPC ID to receive the password in person. Passwords CANNOT be given out over the phone or through email. To access GALILEO databases when you are not on campus, you must use your GPC username and password and/or the GALILEO password. Full instructions for off-campus access can be found here.

Georgia citizens not affiliated with a University of System of Georgia institution may obtain a password for GALILEO use from their local public library.

How to request the password online:

  1. Access the GPC Libraries homepage or GIL@GPC directly.


  2. If accessing from the GPC Libraries homepage, go to the column labeled "Find Articles."


  3. Click on the "Request the GALILEO Password" link.


  4. Enter your patron barcode or Social Security number and your last name. (Your patron barcode is the same as the GPC-ID number, or 900#, on your GPC JCard.) Then click on the "Logon" button.



  5. Click "Request" in the top menu.




  6. If the password does automatically not appear in the drop down menu, select " GALILEO Password" and press "OK."




  7. A screen will appear with the current password.
