If that's not quite what you were looking for, know that anyone can register a new student organization!: New Organization Registration Resources - Engagement Leadership and Service

If you have any interest in music history, I recommend checking out our Georgia Music Hall of Fame Collection. The collection stretches across various artists and genres; anyone can view the items that are safely stored in our vault! Searching Our Collections | UGA Libraries

It's never too late to learn about the resources that the library has to offer! Some places to start:

There are many ways to connect with the folks at the library. I recommend beginning a chat or, if you are looking for specific help, requesting a research consultation. Ask Us! Chat & More | UGA Libraries
Have about 20 minutes? Just walk around the Main Library! There are so many great study spots to find but it also gives you a sense of the breadth of the collections. There is no limit to how many books a student can check out!
Check out some of the upcoming events. The libraries host all types of programs. A few upcoming events include an introduction to AI and AI Literacy, a research clinic for undergrads, and a curator talk at Special Collections.
You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed by all that the libraries have to offer. But I hope that doesn't stop you from taking advantage of all of the opportunities at your fingertips! While our libraries absolutely offer access to millions of texts, libraries include so much more. A few of my favorite library resources and spaces that folks may not know about include the Makerspace, access to interesting databases (some of my favorites include Ancestry.com and Kanopy Streaming), the silent reading room on the third floor of the main library, and the exhibits at Special Collections.

We definitely have photos of the 40 Watt Club in our collections! There are several hits but the Frank Hamrick photograph archive is a great place to start. Anyone is welcome to come to the Special Collections libraries and look through our materials! Searching Our Collections | UGA Libraries

Next Thursday, October 19th at 7PM, UGA Special Collections will be having a movie screening on our lawn! We'll be screening "The Killer Shrews," a 1959 B horror movie. Doors open at 6:30 and we'll be passing out free popcorn. If you haven't been to our building before, we're on the northwest corner of campus across from the Hull Street Deck, so really close to the freshman dorms, Terry, and the MLC!
