Pathfinder/GLADIS is the the UCB library catalog. In the same way that GRACE tells you what is owned by the GTU Library, GLADIS tells you what is owned by the UCB Library. GTU students and faculty can get a UCB library card, and you will find many relevant resources in the UCB collection.

There are also complete texts of the Bible online, as well as a number of historical documents that are in the public domain (i.e., no longer restricted by copyright).
Also consider attending a Library Workshop, where you can get a thorough introduction to research tools and skills. Workshops are free and usually last 90 minutes; workshops are held in the GTU Library Teaching Lab.
Please note that access from home is limited to GTU students, faculty, and visiting scholars. Access is available to anyone within the library building.
