Welcome
Welcome to Odum Library of Valdosta State University. Visitors are welcome to use the Library's collections for research and study purposes. These materials include collections housed in Library stacks; government documents; reference collections; current periodicals and newspapers (except those held on reserve); and microform collections. Unless they are registered as community borrowers, visitors may only use Library resources in-house.

With the exception of the U.S. Government Documents depository collections, the Library may at times give priority in service to University-affiliated users and may limit visitors' access to selected facilities, collections, and services.
