Library resources from the comfort of your home

From the library’s web page, you can access all of our periodical databases and see what books & DVDs we own.

To access the library’s databases from off-campus, you will need to log-in by entering your full last name and your 9-digit student ID number.

Please note that the Library’s off-campus log-in procedure is NOT THE SAME as the log-in procedure for the on-campus computers.

To see what books etc. we own, you don’t have to log in, but once you find what you want, you need to place a hold or come in and pick it up.

More details on using the library from off campus are here!

Cite Your Sources!

APA? MLA? Chicago?

The library provides access to MLA , APA and Chicago citation information and help both in print and online. Circulating copies of current MLA and APA manuals are available in our main collection. Please ask the reference librarian if you need help finding them!

Links to online citation help are available here.

Chat for help!

As the end of the quarter rapidly approaches, don’t forget you can get help 24/7 via the library’s chat page.

If one of GHC’s librarians is unavailable you can get help from a librarian at another college or university. We are part of a group of libraries that answer questions for each other when a students home library is closed.

So don’t despair!

Even if we’re not here, you can get skilled professional library help.
