Online book renewal instructions

Library patrons may renew their books online using the GIL catalog. To renew books checked out from CSU follow the instructions below.

PLEASE NOTE: This service does not include books checked out through Interlibrary Loan. You must renew interlibrary loan books by calling 706-568-2451 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.

To renew books from CSU:

1. Go to the GIL online catalog
2. Click on "Renew books online" at the bottom of the first box.
3. You will be asked for your barcode and last name. Barcodes are the prefix 201 followed by your CSU ID number.
4. After you login you will see a screen with your personal information. The second section (under your name and address) contains a list what books you currently have checked out.
5. Click on the box in front of the title in the column labeled "Renew?" A check will appear in the box. Do this for each book that you want to renew.
6. After you have selected all the books you want to renew, click on the "Renew Items" button that is right under the list of books. The screen will refresh itself.
7. Check the list of books again. This time look at the column labelled "Renewal Status" on the right. It should have "Renewed: Due XX-XX-XX" where the XX's are the new due date, e.g. "Renewed: Due 08-05-01"
8. Important: When you have confirmed that all books desired have been renewed, click on "Exit" at the top of the screen to logoff. If you are using a public workstation you should also close the browser window. This is to preserve your privacy.

If you experience any difficulty renewing books online, you may contact the library at 706-562-1494 to renew books over the phone. Please have the books you wish to renew available when you call.
