What is GIL Express?

• GIL Express or Universal Borrowing (UB) is a
  program that will allow an eligible student,
  faculty, or staff member from a University System
  of Georgia school to borrow books from any other
  University System of Georgia school directly
  without going through Interlibrary Loan or first
  obtaining an outside user card.
• Materials may be borrowed in person by the patron
  going to the library and collecting the books
  from the shelf to check them out or by requesting
  via the Universal Catalog that the books be sent
  to another library for pick-up by the patron.

4
What is the Universal Catalog?

• The union catalog for the University System of
  Georgia's GIL Libraries.

What is a Stub Record?

• A system generated record that contains the
  patron information from the Home Library (name,
  social security number, patron barcode, patron
  group, address, and status).
• "Stub" patron records are created when a GIL
  Express eligible patron charges out materials at
  a location other than their Home Library.
• "Stub" patron records can now be edited.
• Also, items charged, fines, and notes from the
  Home Library will not be visible on a "stub"
  patron record.

Processing Issue

• When sending the item to the Pickup Library,
  YOU DO NOT CHARGE THE BOOK TO THE PATRON. When
  the item is processed in Callslip, the item has
  the status "In Transit". It will always have the
  status "In Transit" when being delivered through
  UPS to either the Pickup Library or being
  returned to the Holding Library
