Grant creates shared library for Georgia's colleges
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia Tech received $857,000 to create a digital library to be shared by colleges in the University System of Georgia.
The grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Science matched the nearly $857,000 raised by the participating institutions to allow shared access to research and other scholarly work. When complete, a user will be able to log onto one site and search databases from all participating colleges, organizers said.
Work on this project has been going on for about five years. The participating colleges include: Tech, University of Georgia, Georgia State University, the Medical College of Georgia, Georgia Southern University, Valdosta State University, Albany State University, College of Coastal Georgia and North Georgia College and State University.
