Getting Started at the Library

Gordon Library strives to facilitate formal and informal instruction, collaboration of faculty, staff, and students, and provide quiet (and, yes, sometimes noisy) spaces for information exchange, teaching, and learning. In addition to the services listed in this guide, the library hosts academic and social programs to engage students, faculty, staff, alumni, and Savannah community members in lifelong learning and community building at the library.

The Library embraces the University’s mission to graduate students prepared to perform at high levels of economic productivity, social responsibility, and excellence in their chosen field of endeavor in a changing global community by providing access to scholarly information in an environment conducive to learning and research.

The vision of the Savannah State University Library is to ensure that its students, faculty, and staff are equipped to meet the complex information challenges of the 21st century. Additionally, the Savannah State University Library strives to be the heart of University's academic and research culture and to substantially contribute to the intellectual activities of the University.
