When browsing the entire collection, use the sorting parameters on the right side
of the page to sort items by “Date”. This is the most useful function when seeking
information from a particular year or span of years.
Once the appropriate selection has been found, click on the title and choose from
the format options located on the left of the screen. For individuals who simply wish
to read through a volume without printing, it is recommended to use the “Read Online”
option.
Users who wish to print pages will need to click the link for the PDF version, download
the PDF (please be patient as these large files can take 5-10 minutes to download),
then find the desired pages and print them. Please note that Adobe Acrobat may be
required in order to print the pages.
Other available formats of each volume include a full text version, which contains
all the text in a stripped-down, Notepad style that allows for easy printing or copying/pasting
of content found in the volume. There are also formats available such as those for
Kindle or Daisy.
Please contact the Office of the Registrar at reghelp@uga.edu or 706-542-4040 with any quetions.
