Insurance
By special arrangement the university approves a student health insurance policy which also provides benefits for accident and accidental death and dismemberment. The magnitude of student participation in the plan allows the insurer to offer excellent benefits for a minimal premium. Applications for student insurance are available in the Office of Student Services in Boykin Wright Hall.
Library (737-1744)
Reese Library, the information center of Augusta State University, provides a wide variety of services that promote the educational purposes of the University. A collection of more than 445,000 volumes, plus an extensive collection of government publications and almost 1,200 current periodical subscriptions, support student learning and research. There are quiet study areas, photocopiers, microform copiers, an audio lab, a curriculum lab, computer labs, and access to CD-ROM and web databases and the Internet.
GIL, the library's computerized catalog, gives access to information about most library materials and other university system libraries. GALILEO, a statewide computer system, provides a wealth of additional information resources with more than 100 databases, some with full text. These and other electronic information resources are available in the library, on the campus computer network, and, in most cases, by remote access. Contact the Reese Library reference department (737-1748) for current availability and access procedures. Materials from other libraries may be obtained through interlibrary loan. Library tours and instructional sessions are provided for classes and individuals; orientation tours are also scheduled throughout each semester. For assistance, professional librarians are available in the reference room whenever the library is open.
