Greetings

I’d like to welcome you all to the Asa H. Gordon Library at Savannah State University!  We’re here to implement the instructional, research, and public service missions of the University.  I invite you to take advantage of our services and partner with our library faculty and staff to accomplish your goals.

Besides all of the traditional things libraries offer, books (electronic and print), research databases, DVDs, CDs, and course reserves, it’s our vision to be a key partner and support  the University’s academic, intellectual, scholarship, and research activities. We want to facilitate formal and informal instruction, collaboration of faculty, staff, and students, and provide quiet (and, yes, sometimes noisy) spaces (in the library and virtually) for information exchange, teaching, and learning. We consider ourselves lifelong learners and therefore your library is far more than a place where books are housed. We are major contributors to student enrollment, retention, and academic success.

We host events, sponsor an array of academic and social programs, foster collaboration with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the surrounding Savannah community to support the University’s mission.  The faculty and staff in the library hope that our students will access the vast array of resources, and the technologies that are made available in the Asa H. Gordon Library to ensure their success in matriculation and graduation!
