In today's increasingly complex world it is essential that intellectual communities be provided with an organized array of resources of the highest quality as well as excellent instruction in their utilization. In this manner the library is at the heart of the learning experience and the development of all learning communities.
Georgia Gwinnett College Library fulfills its role as the heart of the GGC learning community in a number of ways. We provide an in-house core collection of books, periodicals, and microfilm, which is currently undergoing dramatic expansion to meet the curricular needs of the new college. With the availability of the GIL Universal Catalog and GIL Express, students, faculty and staff have access to the collections of all of the University System of Georgia university and college libraries. The library also provides access to the GALILEO suite of databases and to a growing list of supplementary research databases. Numerous other research resources, such as tutorials and research guides, are available directly from the library's home page.
The library provides customized research instruction for classes through its Library Instruction Program. Librarians, in consultation with instructors, tailor instruction sessions to meet the specific research needs of the students in their courses. The Ask a Librarian e-reference service allows users to receive valuable reference assistance via email. Look for additions as we continue to develop our web page and other services to meet your needs.
The Georgia Gwinnett College Library is here to serve you. We seek to provide a place that encourages learning and intellectual enrichment. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions concerning the library and its services. I personally welcome your input and look forward to serving you.
