QUAL 8400: Qualitative Research Traditions (Freeman): Finding Books

GIL--The Libraries' Catalog

Find books in the UGA Libraries by using GIL-Find.

  • Login to your library account at "Sign In" on the top right of the Libraries' home page. Use your UGA credentials to log in. This will give you additional access to many services.
  • Enter your search terms in the search box.
  • Select University of Georgia or University System of Georgia as the catalog you wish to search. Use the drop box at the end of the search box (simple search) and select University System of Georgia  to search state-wide holdings. Visit our GIL Express page for complete information on how to use both options.
  • Use quotation marks to search by phrase
  • Use the asterisk to expand your search--teach* will yield teach, teacher,  teachers, teaching
  • This is what the advanced search screen will look like:
  • Narrow your results by using the options on the left of the results page
  • Clicking on the title will give you additional information, including the author, publisher & date of publication, plus the call number and the library in which it can be found.
  • Use the Permalink option to save your results. Try creating an excel sheet to record the search terms/titles and the url. The url above the search page is not stable.
  • From "Get It" you can request delivery between libraries on the UGA campus or from within the State of Georgia. Click Request  to activate this option. Use "Send to" to send your results to RefWorks/Endnote, create a permanent link, and more.
