The University of Georgia Libraries will celebrate one of the newest members of the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame with a special family day, complete with children’s activities, crafts and free books for kids.

Through a $350,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the University of Georgia Libraries will partner with other academic institutions to expand a nation-wide online congressional archive with content from many of the nation’s most influential politicians.

Six student-curated exhibits on topics from 18^th century gardening to ballet and baseball cards are on display at the University of Georgia Special Collections Libraries.

Documentarian George King will discuss his 20-year journey documenting the life of contemporary folk artist and musician Lonnie Holley, during a free screening hosted by the Walter J. Brown Media Archives & Peabody Awards Collection.

The event, held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 2 at Cine (234 West Hancock Avenue), is free and open to the general public as well as UGA students, faculty and staff.

­Six University of Georgia faculty members have been chosen as 2023 Special Collections Faculty Teaching Fellows, a program designed to help instructors incorporate UGA Libraries’ archival materials and active learning strategies into courses.

With a little help from a University of Georgia librarian, Jake Reinhart’s computer science project concluded with a good grade — plus with a patent for a new device, an academic paper under consideration for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, and a few hundred dollars in his pocket.

Reinhart, a management information systems major at UGA, was named a winner of the Libraries Undergraduate Research Award, a contest open to any student who has a private consultation with a librarian for help with a research project.

From technology and data tips to conquering imposter syndrome, UGA students can learn the skills they need to allow their research to blossom through the Spring Into Research workshop series, presented by UGA Libraries. 

The free online classes will familiarize students with the tools and services available online and on campus that can help you with your research. Whether you need tips on finding relevant research for your literature review or you are looking for new technologies to enhance your work, we have a session for you.

These free classes are open to all students and may be especially helpful for graduate students, with sessions specializing on data and citation management as well as other skills key to preparing a dissertation or thesis.

Due to Spring Break and an upcoming network maintenance, library patrons may notice changes to service hours and access.

On Sunday, March 5, all library locations will be closed, and EITS maintenance may cause disruptions to online services the same day. This can include the ability to log in to the website at libs.uga.edu to access e-books and databases and place holds on books through the library's catalog.

Intersession hours will be in place for March 6-10. For the Main and McBay Libraries, locations will be open 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., with service returning to regular hours on Saturday, March 11.

The Miller Learning Center will be closed Saturday, March 4 and Sunday, March 5 and will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. March 6-10 before closing for Saturday March 11 and returning to 24 hour operations beginning Sunday March 12 at 1 p.m.

Community members are invited to celebrate the strength and resiliency of women at a Women’s History Month event exploring the art of Watkinsville potter Alice Woodruff, who recently presented the exhibition Warrior Women: From Invisible to Formidable One Hundred Strong.
