After searching, you need to look for four details:
1. Is this book in print or is it electronic? Under "Show Only", click on "Available Online" to just see ebook results or "Physical Copy" if you are looking for books in print.
2. Is the book AVAILABLE? If the print copy is not available, there will be a due date or it will say "Not available". If there is an ebook available, it will say "Available Online".
3. If this is in print, which library has it? If you are unable to visit that library to check out, consider picking it up from a closer library using the "Pick it Up" service.
4. Are you ready to check out? Write down the call number and click the Location link on the catalog record to see where you can find it on the shelf. Once you've located your book, all you need is your UT ID to check it out at the front desk of the library.
Use the free "Pick it Up" service to request your book to be retrieved from the shelf and be delivered to the UT library of your choice. If you don't see this option in the catalog record, make sure you are logged in. Once you've submitted your request, wait for an email telling you your books are ready before you come get them! This typically takes take 1-2 business days.

Virtual Browsing: One of the most exciting parts of research is browsing the stacks and finding a book that you didn't know you needed. When you can't browse the shelves in person, patrons can use the library catalog's Virtual Browsing feature. At the bottom of every catalog record is a virtual shelf of books with nearby call numbers, categorized by their similar subject matter. Use this Virtual Browsing to find resources that may give you more context or perspectives on your research topic. When you find a book, you can easily request it through the online catalog and pick it up from the front desk in the PCL.
When a book has this label under its current status, you can only access and read the book at its library location. Contact the library branch or the archive for more information on accessing this resource.
If the UT Libraries doesn't have a book you need, you can request it through InterLibrary Loan. The service is free and unlimited. Depending on the book, it can take 5-10 days for the item to arrive at UT Libraries.
