Reference
The Map Library staff provides cartographic information, resources and services to UGA students, staff and faculty as well as state, regional, national and international researchers. Reference service is provided on site and by phone, fax, or e-mail. While the Map Library staff cannot perform primary research for its patrons, we will provide assistance in both the use of research tools and guides and in locating cartographic materials.

To assist with our workflow, classes and groups are asked to schedule tours with a staff member at least a week in advance. Please contact us via phone, mail or e-mail for further information.

Services for Non-UGA Users
All Map Library services are available to UGA students, staff and faculty as well as state, regional, national and international researchers.
Maps
Non-UGA users can request copies of maps from the Map Library's collection through Interlibrary Loan. Most maps can be found through GIL, UGA's online catalog. If you cannot find a particular map in GIL, please contact a Map Library staff member. Please note that large format scanning and/or printing costs will apply.
Aerial photographs
As of January 2012, the Map Library will no longer fulfill remote requests for photocopies of aerial photographs. Non-UGA users are welcome to visit the Map Library during our open hours to copy or scan aerial photographs in our collection. Please note that scanning and/or printing costs will apply.
