5. Why are there two library catalog interfaces, and what's the difference?
GIL-Find is a new alternative interface to your GIL library catalog. (The old one is known as "GIL Classic.")

GIL-Find is based upon the open-source (free) VuFind software developed by Villanova University, and is being used by all University System of Georgia libraries. GIL-Find, as an alternative interface, is a program that sits on top of GIL Classic in order to operate. So GIL-Find is not a replacement for GIL Classic, just a different way to search the catalog - both options will remain available to you. GIL-Find has many Web 2.0 features such as facets (to narrow searches), similar items, and tagging. If you're searching for an exact title you might find GIL Classic more helpful. If you're exploring the library collection, try GIL-Find.

You can read more about GIL-Find at gil.usg.edu/html/aboutgilfind.html.


6. How do I obtain the GALILEO password?
The GLAILEO password is no longer required for off-campus access. Instead access our resources via the Discover service on our homepage and enter your MyGeorgiaSouthern username and password to login or access them through the GALILEO link in MyGeorgiaSouthern.edu.  If you are not a Georgia Southern student, staff or faculty member you must come to Henderson Library to use the electronic resources to which either GALILEO or Henderson Library subscribes.
If you have trouble, contact the Circulation Desk at (912) 478-5647 for assistance. You may have overdue books from the Henderson library (faculty renew annually in the Spring semester).
