Introduction to the Online Resources of the UGA Libraries

GIL Express and InterLibrary Loan

GIL EXPRESS

You can borrow book from all 35 University System of Georgia institutions through a service called GIL Express.  

First, search the GIL Universal Catalog and find the book you want.  Click on the link to the catalog record of the book.

Second, if another university has the book, and it is not checked out, click on the link "Please Log in to enable GIL Express Requests".

After you log in, you will be able to click on the Place Request link.  The book should arrive at the Library within four business days.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN

If the book you need is not owned by UGA or another USG institution, you can then place an ILLiad request, and we will borrow it from outside of the public university system.  This takes longer, so be prepared to wait from two weeks to a month to get a book.

ILL will also get articles for you if we do not possess a print or electronic copy.  They normally can email you a pdf within one business day.

Citing Sources in Your Paper

The UGA Libraries keep Citation Style Guide web pages with examples of how to cite the most common types of resources using the most common styles (APA, Chicago, MLA, and more!)

For more information about APA style and formating, Purdue has a helpful website.

We also have site licenses for software that can help you manage your references. Try RefWorks if you want a web-based solution for managing bibliographies, and EndNote if you need more sophisticated options but don't mind always using the same computer.
