USG: University System of Georgia
Home Library: The library with which the patron is affiliated. "Home Library" refers to the institution rather than a specific library. For example, University of North Georgia (UNG) patrons are affiliated with the UNG Libraries as a whole, not an individual library on a particular campus.
Do GIL have a shared library card that works across any library?
Holding Library: The specific library to which borrowed material belongs. This library is referred to as the Owning Library.
Pickup Library: The library where patrons request GIL Express books be sent for pickup/checkout.
Visited Library: Any USG library other than the patron's Home Library. This could be for pickup/checkout, returns, walk-up, or in-library use.
GIL-Find Catalog: A single, unified database containing the holdings of all University System of Georgia Libraries. It has real time links to availability, holdings and item information. Items that do not circulate through GIL Express are included. These items may be available for in-library use at the Visited Library.
