Our mission at John Harrison Hosch library is to provide effective access to information resources and the services necessary to support the College's educational and community objectives.  With its highly competent, helpful staff and adequate core collection, the Library exists to assist students, faculty and members of the community in gathering, interpreting and using information. 

In addition to over 70,000 printed items, the library has study carrels, group study rooms, a collection of items placed on reserve by faculty, a wide assortment of magazines and newspapers, and the second largest computer lab on campus.  We provide access to GIL, the Library’s catalog; GIL-Express, the universal catalog for libraries in the University System of Georgia; e-reserves; over 200 programs on the campus network; the Internet; scanners; color and black/white printers; and GALILEO, the highly acclaimed collection of databases provided by the University System of Georgia.

We take great pride in providing the Gainesville State College community with first-rate information-gathering assistance, in maintaining a solid  collection of books and materials, and in providing access to the latest technology.  You are encouraged to take full advantage of one of Gainesville State College's best resources.
