Primo and GALILEO resources are NOT OER. However, they are made available to our faculty and students by GPTC and the Technical College System of Georgia and may be used as course readings.
In order to use PRIMO resources you will need to log in to Primo. Click "Sign in" at the upper right corner and use your GPTC single sign-on.
To view and use GALILEO resources, you will need to login to Blackboard and click the GALILEO link on the left side of your dashboard.
YES! GALILEO is full of Ebooks! Take a look at what we offer in Algebra, for example, at the link below.

The GPTC Learning Resource Centers subscribe to Issues and Controversies outside of Galileo; however GALILEO provides easy access to this resource as a courtesy to GPTC. This database is an extensive reference source for in-depth information on topics of current or recent interest. Here's an example of one entry:
