• The Mercer University Libraries subscribe to databases, either directly or through group arrangements.  Over 200 databases index thousands of periodicals and scholarly journals.  While many databases include a growing list of full-text articles, others include material from encyclopedias, business directories, government publications, and more.  Some specialty databases--for example in health sciences, the social sciences or theology--may require an MUID (Mercer University Identification Number) or another password.  A large number of databases are available through GALILEO, GeorgiA LIbrary LEarning Online, an initiative of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, and require a GALILEO password.
