Can I borrow an ebook from another school in the Georgia system?

Ebooks cannot be loaned between institutions, but you may be able to borrow a print version of the book or request a portion of the book through Interlibrary Loan
 
To request a physical copy of a book: use the library catalog to see if other USG libraries have the book you need.

If another USG school owns the book, log into your library account to request the book and have it delivered to the GSU library of your choice within 3-4 business days. You’ll receive an email letting you know when it has arrived. You can return to book to the same library when you're finished using it.
 
To request a portion of a book: log into our interlibrary loan (ILL) portal. Select the "Book Chapter" option under "New Request." The ILL staff will do their best to obtain the chapter you need. You’ll receive an email letting you know when we have a PDF ready for you to download.
 
For more help, ask a librarian.
