One of the most frequently
requested services in the beginning of the semester is the free book
ordering. With GILFind Express, aka the Universal Catalog, students, staff and
faculty at CSU can order books from any USG university library to be delivered
to CSU Libraries.
To order a book, click on
the link for GILFind Express on the CSU Libraries website under Resources. (See graphic 1)
You will need to log into your library account.
1) Select Columbus State
from the dropdown menu
2) Enter your 909 number
(institution ID)
3) Enter your last name
4) Click Get My Pin (See graphic 3)
You should get a message
that the pin was sent to your CSU email.

Once in your library
account you can change your pin to a
password you are more familiar with, renew
books you have checked out, check
your fines, and check the GALILEO

GILFind Express that you want to request, simply check to see if there are any

days but may take longer.
Some items,
such as ebooks, are not available for request.
Once your request arrives
you will get an email to notify you it is available at the Circulation
