Library Service Listing

The Georgia Tech Library provides a wealth of essential resources to find information on research topics quickly. These guides are updated periodically by subject matter experts, so new information is always available.

retroTECH engages students and faculty in experiential learning related to digital archives and the histories of hardware, software, and people involved in technology. The Library's retroTECH team develops course-integrated learning opportunities, conducts research consultations, and coordinates events and showcases, both within and beyond the retroTECH lab.

The Scholars Event Theater hosts events, lectures and symposia, all of which are recorded and archived for later public viewing.

The Science Fiction Lounge includes the circulating items in the Georgia Tech Science Fiction Collection, one of the largest in the Southeast. Originally formed from the donated personal collection of School of Literature, Media and Communication professor Irving "Bud" Foote in 1998, it has grown since that time to include thousands of science fiction works and criticism for research and leisure reading.

The study rooms are dedicated study/meeting rooms for academic/scholarly activities. Located throughout the Library (Clough, Crosland, & Price Gilbert). Rooms are available to all GT students, faculty, or staff, while a few rooms are reserved for faculty only. Room size and available technology vary by room.

The subject experts can offer advice on ways to research topics and assistance with verification of bibliographic citations. These librarians provide general & subject specific library classes in your subject area as well as assistance in developing research assignments. 

Designed as a space to support teaching and pedagogy on campus. Librarians, alongside our campus partners can work with faculty to integrate library resources and educational technologies into courses and research. Faculty can receive support in the Teaching Studio to create digital learning objects, record presentations, create instructional videos, and design class activities. The studio includes a video recording space equipped with green screen, consultation areas, a prototyping station, and a specialized classroom lab.

Affordable learning and open educational resources are an important part of teaching at Georgia Tech. Previously, faculty placed print monographs and course packs on hold for students as part of the reserves system. In the digital age, however, the range of available Library services includes ebooks, journals, streaming media, and tutorials. As such, the Library seeks to support each option and works to reduce textbook costs by providing the best-quality materials for faculty and students.

It is Georgia Tech policy that all theses and dissertations authored by Georgia Tech graduate students are openly shared and preserved via the GT Digital Repository. The Library also hosts the thesis and dissertation submission system in partnership with the Office of Graduate Education.
