22. “[GKR] provides a timely and extraordinarily valuable service, not only to the individual universities within the USG, but to the State of Georgia by making available the resources of its university libraries to the public.” – David King, Interim Director, Greenblatt Library, Georgia Health Sciences University CC image via Flickr user voodoosnakes http://flic.kr/p/3eoMWshttp://flic.kr/p/3eoMWs

23. “The GALILEO Knowledge Repository will be a remarkable portal into the diverse scholarship of the University System of Georgia... The collaborative nature of the project, based on the GALILEO and GIL models, brings first class repository services even to USG campuses with more limited IT support.” – Bede Mitchell, Dean of the Zach S. Henderson Library, Georgia Southern University

24. “The GKR takes repositories one step better by creating a statewide metadata repository that allows federated searching and browsing of all existing Georgia repositories.” – David Evans, Assistant Vice President for Library Services, Sturgis Library, Kennesaw State University CC image via Flickr user thomashawk http://flic.kr/p/5dFLXJhttp://flic.kr/p/5dFLXJ
