GIL Express
GIL Express
GIL Express is a service that allows you to borrow items as available from University System of Georgia (USG) Libraries through placing an online request in the GIL-Find catalog or on site when visiting one of the USG libraries.
On-Site Borrowing
Simply visit the USG library of your choice and select the materials that you wish to check out. If you do not have a VSU 1Card ID, another photo ID will be requested in system verification that you are eligible to use GIL Express.
GIL Express Borrowing
Placed in the GIL-Find catalog, GIL Express requests are delivered to the USG library of your choice - allowing you to determine the most convenient pick-up location.
Everyone has a 28-day loan period with 2 renewals (if no one else has requested the book).
