EXPRESS LOAN
WHAT
IS GIL EXPRESS
Gil Express
is a service being offered at all libraries within the University
System of Georgia (USG). The service allows students, faculty and
staff to access and borrow all eligible circulating material through
a shared Universal Catalog of the USG libraries. The patron orders
books directly through the Universal Catalog and specifies a pickup
location.

OVERDUE
AND LOST MATERIAL
Overdue
Material: Currently fines are not charged for overdue GIL Express
books. However, if you have GIL Express material from any of the
USG libraries that is overdue, your borrowing privileges will be
blocked. This block will be effective at all libraries including
Waycross College Library. A Banner block will also be placed on
your student record which will prohibit you from registering or
receiving transcripts until all obligations are cleared.
Lost
Material: Each library sets its own price for the replacement
cost of a lost book. If you have questions about the price of
a book you should check with the library that owns the book. The
processing fee for one lost GIL Express book is $35.00. This
fee is set by a statewide policy and is based on the average cost
to an individual library to process a replacement copy of a book
that is already in its collection. Once paid,
the processing fee is non-refundable.
