The Atlanta University Center
Robert W. Woodruff Library is proud to announce the redesign and refreshment of our website.
The change happened last semester, where we heard feedback and introduced it to all users.
The website-look is designed to conform to your devices, be aesthetically pleasing, and – most importantly – be easy to use.
Ask your subject librarian for a tutorial for you or your classes. They will gladly go over different parts of the new site to help you navigate and find what you need.
Visit www.auctr.edu, have a look around, and provide feedback to your subject librarian at anytime. Bookmark the link on your device for easy access.
Interlibrary Loan is a service where AUC students, faculty, and staff can borrow and request items that are not available at the Woodruff Library.
We participate in loan agreements with a network of libraries, both nationally and internationally, that supply resources to scholars for borrowing when they are not available here at their home library.
Before you submit an interlibrary loan request, make sure that we do not already own the material by checking the "EJournals A-Z" list or use our catalog to search the WorldCat database, which is the catalog for our Library and other libraries worldwide. Both the list and the catalog are accessible on our website.
First time users of the Interlibrary loan system must have a valid Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library barcode. You can receive a barcode by visiting the Information Service Center desk within the library building or email barcodes@auctr.edu. You must provide us with your institution email and a phone number.
TIPS:
You can track your requests, renew items, and retrieve articles online. Books borrowed through ILL are subject to any policies or restrictions set by the lending library. Due dates are strictly enforced.
Requests are filled as quickly as possible, but note that the location and availability of requested items can affect the turnaround time.
Please provide a complete citation for each request. See a Subject Librarian if you need assistance.
If you have questions or require additional information, please contact our Interlibrary Loan Librarian at ill@auctr.edu.
For a full explanation of our Interlibrary service, visit our online guide.
For further InterLibrary Loan questions, please send an email to ill@auctr.edu or call us at (404) 978-2025 x2042.

Blue light is known to interfere with our ability to sleep. Reviewing your display brightness setting and adjusting it can greatly reduce the strain on your eyes.
Windows has an automatic light switcher that allows users to adjust automatically to warmer colors when lighting in the environment changes. To set this, right-click the “Start” button, search “Night Light,” and click on it. Select “Schedule night light” and set whatever hours you like.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Displays in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.) Drag the Brightness slider on the right to adjust the brightness of your display.
On your iPhone X or later, or your iPad with iOS 12 or iPadOS: swipe down from the top-right corner of your display. On your iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of your display. Drag the brightness bar up or down to adjust the brightness.
On Android: Settings > Display > Tap the slider next to Adaptive brightness and switch it to the off position. Then, adjust the brightness bar until you’ve reached your desired level of brightness.
