Use the Library Catalog to Find Books
After searching, you need to look for these details:
1. Is this book in print or is it electronic (an ebook that you can access online)?
2. If the book is in print, is it AVAILABLE?
3. If the book is checked out or if you want staff to retrieve the book for you, click on "Pick It Up" and follow the steps to request the book.
4. Pick up during the time when the branch libraries are closed will be at the main library, PCL.
Click to follow the link; usually marked as, "electronic resource". You may be asked to log in with your EID and password.
You can request a copy via the "Get a Scan" button. This option may take a few days.
We recommend you search the UT library catalog for both electronic and print books.
