ARED 8990: Research Seminar in Art Education (Sanders-Bustle): Finding Books

Finding Books in GIL-FIND

Find books in the UGA Libraries by using GIL-Find, the Libraries' catalog.

  • Login to your library account at "Sign In" on the top right of the opening 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. .
  • This is what the advanced search screen will look like:

Your results

  • 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.
  • 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.

Deliveries from Other Libraries

  • Borrow books from other libraries on campus and have them shipped to another campus library that is closest to you. The Art Library is a delivery point for this service. Login to you library account to activate this service. Here's more info.
  • Borrow books from other University System of Georgia Libraries with GIL Express/GIL Universal Catalog and have them delivered to any other USG library. 
  • Need an article or book that is not owned by UGA? Interlibrary Loan will track down what you need from anywhere in the world FOR FREE. DO NOT PAY FOR LIBRARY MATERIALS!  ILL CAN BORROW THEM FOR YOU!
