Top Ten services for faculty at Odum Library

Our new GIL-Find Catalog! You can locate books, videos, CD's, etc. as always, but now we have ways to cut down your list by location, preview book covers, and even add tags to your favorite books.

GALILEO Scholar!  There are over 2,000 journal titles available electronically in GALILEO, along with encyclopedias, streaming video, and more.  Be sure to browse by subject for a good database - the library recommends this over the GALILEO "Search" option.

Anywhere Access! Through Anywhere Access, you can search our resources and access GALILEO from off-campus at any time.

Interlibrary Loan! Also known as ILL, this amazing service lets you borrow materials from another library. Just because we don't have it in the library doesn't mean you can't get it for free (well, most of the time)!

GIL Express!  This statewide system allows you to borrow a book from any University System of Georgia library and have it delivered to the library of your choice.

Odum Express! VSU faculty and staff can have library materials from Odum Library delivered directly to their VSU campus department.
