Off-Campus Access
Do you need off-campus access to library resources? You may need a password. Select an item below for more information.
GALILEO Articles and Databases
GALILEO is an online service that allows users to search through many databases for journal articles and primary documents. The GALILEO password is for the sole use of currently enrolled or employed University of North Georgia students, faculty, and staff. This password may not be shared with others.
To view the GALILEO password, log in to your library at the top right corner of the GIL-Find screen.
GIL-Find Catalog for Books and Media
GIL-Find@UNG is an online service that allows users to search for books, e-books, and DVDs at your local UNG library location.
You can also search for books at other schools in the University System of Georgia and request them through GIL Express. From the GIL-Find Catalog change the drop-down menu from University of North Georgia to University System of Georgia, formerly referred to as the Universal Catalog.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
If you need an item that you can’t get through GIL Express, you may request the item through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). All current UNG students, faculty, and staff may request ILL items through ILLiad. Your ILLiad username and password are the same as your campus username and password.
Campus Username and Password
Many areas of the UNG website request a campus username and password. This is the combination you will use to access UNG email, BANNER registration, etc.
Username is the first letter of your first name, first letter of your middle name, first four letters of your last name, and last four digits of your 900 number.
Example:
Username: jasmit1118
- John A. Smith = jasmit
- student # 90001118 = 1118
Password is the last four numbers of your Social Security number, followed by your two-digit date of birth.
Example:
Password: 345609
- SSN 555-55-3456
- birthday July 9
*if you don’t have a Social Security number, use 0000
