Observer’s Guide
In this document you will find detailed information on observing tools, procedures and best practices, as well as instrumentation details.
Dynamic Scheduling System (DSS)
This web service allows you to manage your accepted GBT projects. Most importantly you will use this service to enable your projects and provide black-out dates.

GBT documentation hub (GBTdocs)
We will slowly migrate all GBT documentation into this sphinx-based system hosted on readthedocs. GBTdocs follows the diátaxis approach.
