Today's library survival tip:

The case of the lost flash drive

If you left your flash drive at the GSU Library and someone found it and turned it in, it will be waiting for you at the Reference Desk, which has a corral for lost flash drives until their owners claim them.

Today's library survival tip:

Logging into the databases off campus

When you are trying to access academic journals and databases off-campus, you'll get a prompt for your user ID and password...here's the secret: Your user ID is your full 14-digit student ID, which is under the barcode on your ID card. For most other applications, you only use five or six numbers, and, you do it so frequently that maybe you don't know exactly where you placed your ID at this time. So, here's the first eight numbers, which are universal for all campus faculty, staff and students: 21611000. If you usually enter five digits, add another "0" before them. If you normally enter six, you're good. Your password is your four-digit registration pin if you are a student or the last four digits of your Social Security number if you are faculty or staff.
