William S. Smith Library

   Located between the Student Union Building and Thrash Hall

The library is a fundamental resource for higher learning. I encourage you to take advantage of this resource for various research needs, for a place to study and complete class work without distractions, and for enjoying recreational information in your personal downtime. 

Both print and electronic resources are readily accessible within the library as well as through the web site. The staff and I invite you to learn more about library resources and services by visiting the library and requesting a guided tour. 

The staff and I are here to assist in meeting your informational needs! Please let us know how we may help you!

Jacqueline Vickers, Library Director

Important Information

This SGC ID card is your Library Card. It is required to:

1. check out materials from the Smith Library collections,

2. check out books requested through GIL Express for delivery to the Smith Library from other University System Libraries, and

3. check out materials at other University System Libraries that you may visit (for example: at Valdosta State University Library).  

The back of the SGC ID Card displays a barcode, which is the identification number for your personal “MY ACCOUNT” within the GIL Online Catalog (GIL@SGC). From your personal "My Account" screen, you can: 

n       obtain access to the quarterly GALILEO password (in order to search and retrieve information in the GALILEO databases remotely from anywhere off campus);

n       renew library materials you have checked out (at your home SGC library or at other University System Libraries); and

n       place GIL Express requests for materials from other University System Libraries which are available for circulation in the USG Universal Catalog.

The SGC ID Card provides a $10.00 credit from the Student Technology Fee for the current semester for:

n       printing from the student-use computer workstations located in the library.
