The Otto and Velia Butz University Libraries at Golden Gate University include two operations - a Business Library and a Law Library. The spaces in each library are open to all GGU students, but the resources and research assistance available in each are tied to the particular disciplines served. The Business Library area is designed for quiet conversation and collaboration and the Law Library areas are zoned for quiet study.
The Business Library
The Business Library provides an array of services and resources that help students develop information literacy skills and technological competence leading to academic success and the ability to perform effective research well after graduation.
The Business Library’s collections cover all disciplines taught at the university and include professional practitioner materials graduates would expect to use in career settings. Resources include more than 100 research databases, 200,000 e-books, 55,000 eJournals, selected textbooks and online course reserves available to currently enrolled students on-site and remotely. The library also maintains a large collection of print books and other materials related to the university’s curriculum and an interlibrary loan service that greatly expands offerings beyond the immediate collection.
Librarians provide group research instruction via in-person and online classes and workshops and are available for individual research assistance on a drop-in basis during regular hours, by appointment, and via email, phone and instant messenger.
