Frequently Asked Questions

Question

Why can’t I log in to the GALILEO proxy?

Answer

Links to resources via the GALILEO proxy are institution specific. You must login to the proxy with the password of the institution that is specified on the proxy login screen.

Check the information below for directions on locating your current GALILEO password. If you are not affiliated with the institution specified on the proxy login screen, you may have access to the resource through GALILEO. You will need to log back in to GALILEO and retry your search.
