Georgia State University Library — Local services in Atlanta

It's some of the students with whom I have to share this resource that knock my rating down to four stars. While most are kind and respectful of the people around them, there are those few kids who have to let everyone around them know they're cool because they're in college, now. Loudly. Obnoxiously. Intrusively.

Library hours are sometimes inconvenient, and even though it's meant to prevent people from treating the building like a motel, during the day, it's impossible to find a seat because that's where some students go to sleep. You'll find some sleeping between shelves, too.

Oh, and the elevators! I wish those of us who actually need to use them the best of luck getting to whatever floor they're going to. You'll have to battle a bunch of lazy kids for space.

Staff are helpful. Quiet floors are usually quiet. Wouldn't be a bad place at all if it weren't for...

Everything I could ever want from a library. Though it is open to the public, it is closed to all but students during the weeks before finals. The loudest sound on the fifth floor is the air conditioning. The special collections department has some real treasures if you can go when their office is open. Overall an excellent place for students to study, with group rooms open for reservation, or solo desks for those that want to study or read alone.

The CURVE on the second floor of the south building is excellent. 1.5 million dollars worth of technology only available to students or professors working on projects. Its the place to go to...

Update

They extended their hours, especially the weekends, awesome! Still no 24 hours but that's fine.

This library has everything a student needs. The best things about it is that they have printers almost every corner of some particular floors, great. They have electronic stuff to rent or borrow, nice. Enough computers, mostly Windows but they have Macs too. The library bridge is an awesome touch to the building. Floors for different levels of noise, they get quieter as you get to the top. 5th floor has "zero noise" room! It's great if you wanna focus on studying or even sleeping!! Please no...
