On Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 3:35 p.m. in the MLC Jittery Joe’s, come and discuss Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Grey with the Bulldog Book Club.
After Basil Hallward paints a beautiful, young man’s portrait, his subject’s frivolous wish that the picture change and he remain the same comes true. Dorian Gray’s picture grows aged and corrupt while he continues to appear fresh and innocent.
What is the repository?
The repository is an off-campus storage facility where some library materials that are used less frequently are stored. The UGA Libraries own so many books, journals, and other items (more than 4 million) that we can’t fit them all into campus libraries!
How do I request delivery of something from the repository?
You can ask at the desk at any campus library, or do it online. In GIL, find the item you need and look at the full record display. There is a link to the Off-Site Material Request Form at the very bottom of the page.
Materials are retrieved Monday-Friday. Patrons are notified when materials are available to pick up from the library location they have chosen. Turn-around time is generally one day, excluding weekends.

Please be aware that there is currently construction ongoing at the Science Library to install a fire mitigation system. The associated noise may disrupt studying on the 3rd and 4th floors, although this should only happen during normal business hours (i.e. after five the normal ‘quiet areas’ should actually be quiet). Thanks, and our apologies for the inconvenience!

The University of Georgia Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies exhibit that celebrates the donation of the Melvin Ernest Thompson personal papers will open with a reception on Nov. 2 from 3-5 p.m.
“Snapshots: Selections from the M.E. Thompson Collection” showcases materials from the collection that document important moments in the life of M.E. Thompson, Georgia’s first lieutenant governor and participant in the famed “three governors controversy” (1946-1947). Capitalizing on a collection of correspondence, speeches, photographs, memorabilia and audiovisual material, the display considers the creation of Thompson’s political career and his life following his days on the campaign trail. More than 170 photographs illustrate Thompson’s childhood, family life and gubernatorial and senatorial campaigns, with memorabilia documenting his civic achievements, career and commitment to public education. Six television campaign advertisements featuring Thompson’s views about the county unit system and education are a particular highlight of the collection.
More on Thompson’s life and the political disagreement that ushered him into the governor’s office can be found at the New Georgia Encyclopedia http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-591.
A student asked if it was possible to browse our collection of DVDs; she was looking for documentaries on a subject, but didn’t know of any specific titles, and a keyword search of GIL seemed to return only books.
In fact, you can limit a search of the GIL catalog by many factors, including material and location. In this case I helped the patron to limit the search to things in our Media Department, which houses all film and video for the library. Here’s how:
From the keyword search page in GIL, choose “Narrow My Search” in the lower left.
Pick one or more limiters: language, date, library collection, place of publication, and material are among your choices. Then click the “narrow my search” button to return to the keyword search page.
The keyword search page will remind you that search limits are in effect. You can remove them by clicking “clear settings” at the lower right.
The Hargrett Rare Book & Manuscript Library currently has an exhibit featuring UGA football images and artifacts from 1892-1969. 3rd floor Main Library.
