VIRTUAL LIBRARY RESOURCES
As you conduct research for your classes and academic workshops, you may find that you are expected to include journal articles as a part of your research for particular course requirements. Please check the main campus library web page. The useful databases are available through http://www.nobts.edu/Library/ (FirstSearch, ProQuest and CPI Index).
The GALILEO (Georgia Virtual Library) database provides access to many independent online resources. Please visit www.galileo.usg.edu To find out passwords for these databases, please contact the library staff or stop by the North Georgia Hub Library.
Computers, printers and a copy machine are available for student use. Copying is $.10 per page. Library Phone: 770-321-1606

Hints:
• When you find an interesting book title, click on it while it is underlined. Then you will see the call letters or call number.
• If it’s checked in, include it in your email to us: title, author, and call letters or number for each book.
3. Since people move so often these days, it helps us avoid shipping mishaps if you will also include the mailing address for the books.
