Library resources after graduation

Please come to visit in person! 

Jackson Library provides guest computers with access to most library subscriptions.  (notable exceptions include SciFinder Scholar chemistry database and several marketing research databases).  Results can be emailed, saved, or printed with purchase of a guest print card.

Alumnae are invited to join Friends of the Library. The annual $25 fee provides membership in the UNCG Libraries Book Discussion Group and checkout privileges for books and DVDs.

Unfortunately UNCG Libraries are unable to offer off-campus access to library subscriptions after UNCG computer accounts expire.  For information on when your iSpartan account expires, please contact (336) 256-8324.

There are other options!

NC LIVE  offers free electronic resources to North Carolina residents.  Health professionals will be interested in the Natural Medicines database and ProQuest articles databases. North Carolinians not currently affiliated with a college or university may gain access to the NC LIVE site through their local public library.  (usually it is the number from your public library card)

Greensboro AHEC Library is located at the Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital. Members of the community (including health professionals not affiliated with Cone Health) may visit in person to use the medical library resources.  See their website [http://www.gahec.org/library] for hours and contact information.

Information Literacy Course Development Awards

UNCG University Libraries

Information Literacy Course Development Awards

            The UNCG University Libraries will offer three $1,000 awards for courses to be taught in spring 2016 to support restructuring an undergraduate course in order to more intentionally integrate information literacy and research. This award is open to anyone who teaches a course at the undergraduate or graduate level and has the authority to make substantive changes to that course.

The purpose of the Information Literacy Course Development Awards is to support instructors in revitalizing courses to foster information literacy skills. These re-envisioned courses will incorporate information literacy throughout the semester, teaching students to locate, evaluate, synthesize, and cite sources in the manner most appropriate for the subject area.
