GIL vs. GALILEO
Should I use GIL or GALILEO?
Use GIL to find books, periodicals, and other materials found in individual libraries.
![You find periodicals in GIL. The articles within a periodical in GALILEO](images/06_02_gil_v_gal.gif)
Use GALILEO to find periodical articles. GALILEO indexes articles in thousands of periodicals. Those periodicals could be found in your library, or in a library in Seattle, or only exist in a database on a server in Washington.
GIL does not index periodical articles but it does identify whether a library subscribes to a periodical, and if so, what years it owns.
