ENGL 4800: Find Books

Each enrolled student at Augusta University has an account in our catalog system.  Use it to track books that you've checked out (and keep up with the due dates!) and items that you've requested from other libraries.

Access your GIL Account

Search for books that have been digitized by Google.  If the book is out of copyright, or the publisher has given permission, you'll be able to see a preview of the book, and in some cases the entire text. If it's in the public domain, you're free to download a PDF copy.

To locate and request books using GIL Express:

1. Search for the book in GIL-Find. Be sure to change the dropdown from "Augusta University" to "University System of Georgia."
2. Log into your account by clicking "Sign in" at the top.
   • Click "Augusta Students & Faculty"
   • Your username and password are the same as your credentials for all other campus services.
3. After locating the book you wish to request, select "View it," then "More libraries." Select the library you wish to request from. Once their record loads, select "Request."
4. When you receive notification in your campus email, pick the book up at the Reese Library Information Desk.

Note: you can also check the status of GIL Express requests and check library due dates under your library account.
