How do I...?

Study rooms are available only to UNG students. 

Rooms can be reserved in one-hour blocks four times a week.

If you plan to use the whiteboard (Dahlonega) or chalkboard (Gainesville) please bring your own dry erase markers/chalk and erasers.

To reserve a room, complete the online request form.
*Note: You will be sent an email when you register and you must confirm your registration.

Search the libraries' catalog GIL-Find.

In most cases library books and media can be renewed up to two times through your GIL-Find account. However, if an item is already overdue, you won't be able to renew it.

Library technology, leisure books and leisure DVDs are not renewable.

"On reserve" means a professor has placed the item on Course Reserve at the library. It is only available for students to use at the library for a limited amount of time (usually three hours).  This system helps an entire class or classes access a resource within a reasonable time period.

Check the libraries' GIL-Find catalog to see whether we own the title you want.

Usually, it takes 3-5 business days for books you've requested to arrive at the pickup location. This is only an estimate, though, because delivery time can vary based on many factors.

University of North Georgia students, faculty, and staff may request books and DVDs in the GIL-Find catalog from other UNG libraries. Requested items are delivered by courier usually within 2-3 business days of the request. You will receive a notification in your UNG email account when the requested item arrives.

What can be requested?

• Requests may be placed only on items that are currently unavailable, or that are located on another campus.
• Reference books, rare books, items in the UNG Special Collections and Archives, some DVDs, technology, and other resources that do not circulate cannot be requested.

If you have problems placing an intercampus request, please contact Access Services.

The library cannot accept duplicate items as replacements for lost items. Replacement costs reimburse the funds spent on that item, and may be used to replace the lost item with an updated version.
