The journals are organized into the Arts and Sciences Collections I & II, the General Sciences Collection, the Ecology and Botany Collection, the Business Collection, the Language and Literature Collection, the Mathematics and Statistics Collection, and the Music Collection.

Journals and ebooks primarily in the health, life, physical, and social sciences, some with full text.

It also indexes the contents of journals and ebooks that are published by John Wiley but not part of UGA's Wiley Online subscription. Look for the yellow open lock icon for items you can access online. Other books and journals listed may be available in print in the library; search for them in the GIL Find catalog or the 'Journals' search on the Libraries' homepage.
