All the books, videos, and other materials at Ingram Library are listed in our online catalog. You can use the boxes below to search this catalog. When you find the book you want, click on the title to view that book's record. You'll see the book's call number on this page; the call number is the way that you will find the book. Write down the call number (or text it to yourself!) and then find the call number range that your book falls within on the side of the bookshelves. If you need help finding a book, ask someone at the circulation desk on the first floor for help.

If you don't find what you need there, you can try one of the other 35 libraries in the Georgia state system through the GIL Universal Catalog.

And if that's not enough, you can search WorldCat to see what is available at other libraries. We'll try to get what you need through ILL. (Since WorldCat is a subscription database, you'll need to get the current password to access it)

If you live in GA, your UWG student ID will also allow you to check out books from any of the University System of Georgia institutions in person.

You might also consider Georgia PINES, which searches public libraries in GA.
