You can also expand your search results to include items from the other institutions in the University System of Georgia by using the drop-down menu to the right of the search bar after you have run a search, or by accessing the front page here.

Ordering Items from Other Institutions

GIL Find provides a service known as GIL Express, which allows you to order books from other USG schools. To use this service:

  • Log in to your account by clicking "Sign in" in the upper right hand corner. You will use your ABAC email address and password to log in
  • Search for the item you wish to request, making sure to use the drop-down menu next to the search bar to search the University System of Georgia
  • Once you have found the item you wish to order, click on the "Get It" link, which should be located beneath the bold "Check Holdings"
  • Select "More Libraries", and then select the institution with which you would like to place the order
  • Click on "Request"
  • Set your Pick Up Institution to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
  • Optionally, set a "Not Needed After" date; note that this does not set the item's due date, but sets an expiration date on your request
  • Click the "Request" button to place the request; your item should arrive at the Baldwin Library within two to three business days
