Library
The CGPS library is located on the second floor of the South Building, with its hours posted at the entrance, as well as on CGPS web page. The library promotes a library-user instruction program designed to foster information fluency, lifelong learning, and critical thinking skills. These goals are achieved by providing individual and group research assistance, course-related library instruction, web-based tutorials, and virtual tours.
The library’s collection consists of a non-circulating reference collection, print and online journals, and reserve items. The CGPS library also supports an extensive interlibrary loan service. Students and faculty have full access to the print and electronic collections available at the Simpson Library on the Fredericksburg campus of the University of Mary Washington. Equipped with computers linked to the University's network, the CGPS library provides access to an array of web-based resources available through the library’s catalog, VIRTUA, and the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA). These proprietary databases are available only to paid subscribers or qualified users. CGPS students may access these databases from any computer at either University of Mary Washington campus, or from home.
