There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Georgia Tech Library’s five-year renewal project is a reimagining of resources, services and spaces in continuation of its commitment to research and learning excellence. This remarkable transformation will see the Library become the model institution of the 21st century -- connected, responsive to sea changes in student and faculty need, and dedicated to the stewardship of analog information in a digital age.
Put simply, the Library Renewal allows the Library to grow from physical place to a connected, ubiquitous presence in the service of teaching, research and learning.
Beginning with the closing of Crosland Tower, or Library East, on Dec. 31, 2015, the renewal will see the opening of the Library Service Center, a partnership between Georgia Tech and Emory University, in January 2016. Crosland construction is slated to complete in 2018, at which time Price Gilbert, or Library West, will close for construction through 2020.
The Library will maintain 24 hours a day, seven days a week operations during the construction period. Study spaces, computer resources, expertise, and a core collection of print materials will continue to be available during the renewal.
