Choose the Library Catalog at library.gsu.edu to find books in our library. The catalog also lists other materials in the library - including journals, movies, music and more.

A search in the library catalog is a good place to start if you are looking for books on a topic.  You can also search by title, author/creator or subject using the Advanced Search options.

** If GSU does not have the item you are looking for, you can search the other University System of Georgia libraries. GSU students, faculty, and staff can request that the item be sent to their home campus. **

For more complex searches, use the Advanced Search option.

Use the options listed below to find books not in the GSU library:

1.  GSU students, faculty, and staff can check out books in person from any University System of Georgia library or Emory University's libraries using their PantherCard. Call the library before you go for information on their borrowing policies.

2.  Use the WorldCat database to search the collections of libraries throughout the world. Books located in WorldCat can be ordered via the Interlibrary Loan (ILL). ILL requests may take two weeks or more to arrive at the GSU Library, so plan ahead.
