COLLECTIONS

CIRCULATION POLICIES

  • Faculty members – One semester
  • All others – 21 days; they may be renewed only once.
  • Reserves vary in time from “In House Only” to one week.

VIRTUAL LIBRARY RESOURCES

As you conduct research for your classes and academic workshops, you may find that you are expected to include journal articles as a part of your research for particular course requirements. Please check the main campus library web page. The useful databases are available through http://www.nobts.edu/Library/ (FirstSearch, ProQuest and CPI Index).

The GALILEO (Georgia Virtual Library) database provides access to many independent online resources. Please visit www.galileo.usg.edu Since the North Georgia Library staff supplies our books and we have no librarian on staff you can find out passwords for these databases by contacting the library staff at the North Georgia Hub Library.

Computers, printers and a copy machine are available for student use. Library Phone: 770-321-1606

How to Get Books from the John T. Christian Library

1. Set up a library account.

  • Email Library@nobts.edu with the following information: Name, NOBTS ID, address, phone number, program of study, name of extension center used for other classes
  • We will verify your enrollment and create the account.

2. Research online using www.nobts.edu. Go to the library’s book and media online catalog to search for books you need: http://baptist.nobts.edu.

  • When you find an interesting book title, click on it while it is underlined. Then you will see the call letters or call number.
  • If it’s checked in, include it in your email to us: title, author, and call letters or number for each book.

3. Since people move so often these days, it helps us avoid shipping mishaps if you will also include the mailing address for the books.
