UGA Libraries

If you are looking for a quiet place to study next week, we suggest you skip the McBay Science Library. A summer HVAC construction project is expected to be really noisy during business hours on Monday and Tuesday, and we are closing on the Wednesday and Thursday to save your ears from the worst of it. As a reminder, you can always sign in to our online catalog and request books to be picked up at another campus location, and we highly encourage that for next week.

All of our locations will be closed for the Juneteenth holiday, and McBay should be back in business by Saturday.

Thanks for your patience!

Are you taking summer classes? We're here to help! We wanted to remind you that the Makerspace is open, and our peer research consultants are on duty! And of course, you can get one-on-one help from a librarian. Visit our website to book a consultation.

We can think of 4.6 million ways you can celebrate World Environment Day with UGA Libraries. That's how many books you can borrow from us — not counting the e-books, journal articles and other materials that you can borrow — saving money and the environment. 🌎📖

With new collections from U.S. Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson now open at our Russell Library for Political Research and Studies, records from two of Georgia’s highest-ranking politicians of the early 2000s are now freely available to the public.

The collections provide insider perspectives into 21st century congressional debates, including budget and tax reform battles, the Affordable Care Act, and the Global War on Terror and the 2003-2011 Iraq War, as well as immigration issues and federal agriculture policy. In addition, the collections include campaign memorabilia, constituent correspondence, photographs, and other objects from Chambliss’s and Isakson’s life and service in state politics dating back to the 1970s.

This Pride Month, we welcome you to visit the Special Collections Libraries building and pay tribute to the “Prince of the Blues,” Billy Wright. The openly gay musician and drag performer had a huge influence on the Blues scene in Atlanta in the 1940s and 50s, and he was an inspiration and advisor for Little Richard.

We have some mementoes and information about Wright on display in the Brown Media gallery at Special Collections. Come check them out!
