Library Services
The five campus libraries of Middle Georgia State University provide access to a wide variety of print, electronic, and audiovisual materials striving to maintain a current collection that supports the curriculum of the University.
Middle Georgia State University Library participates in GALILEO, the statewide library initiative. GALILEO provides access to over 130 periodical and information databases and over 2,000 full-text periodicals. Additionally, the library subscribes to more than 20 other computerized databases including the ACM Digital Library, CINAHL Complete, JSTOR, Project Muse, Criminal Justice Abstracts with Full-Text, as well as thousands of e-books. GIL-Find is the online catalog and searches the collections of the Middle Georgia State University libraries as well as more than 13 million bibliographic records of all USG libraries.
An interlibrary loan program and the statewide GIL Express program enable students, faculty, and staff to borrow books and obtain copies of articles not available at the Middle Georgia State University Library. Intercampus delivery of library resources is also available. Librarians work one-on-one with students and faculty at the reference desks and through virtual means such as chat reference and e-mail reference. Library instruction sessions are available upon faculty request for the teaching of research, critical inquiry, and use of library resources.
Each campus of Middle Georgia State University has its own library, and hours vary with campus location. More information about library services is available by visiting the Library’s website at http://www.mga.edu/library
