Find Books (Print and Ebooks)

How to Find Print and Ebooks

The UT Libraries has a huge collections of books and ebooks. You can find both by searching the Library Catalog as follows:

Step 1: From www.lib.utexas.edu, scroll past the search box and click Books & Media.

Use the Books and Media link under the search bar on www.lib.utexas.edu

Step 2: Enter search terms for your topic, a book title or an author in the search box.

search the library catalog for your topic search terms, author or title

 

Step 3: Look over your list of results. You will see a mix of resource types

Available online means it is an ebook, a call number means it is a print book and if it has a call number and says it may be available in HathiTrust, it means you can get it online in the HathiTrust link but not in print during the pandemic.

To get a print book:

  • Click on the book title to go into the full record.
  • Sign in with your EID
  • Click "Pick it Up"
  • You will receive an email from the Libraries when it the book is ready for you to pick up from the PCL Desk. You'll need to bring your ID card to enter PCL and check out the book (contactless check out). During the pandemic, you can't browse the shelves but instead must use Pick it Up to request any print book from the Libraries collections. For more, see this page.

Click Pick it Up to request the book.

 

To use an ebook:

  • Click "Available Online."
  • Click the link under View Online. The link will be the name of the vendor or publisher where we get the ebook (ex: Taylor & Francis).
  • Log in with your EID and access the book.
  • Each vendor/publisher does things a little differently. To find out how accessing, downloading and printing works depending on the vendor/publisher, see the ebooks guide.

Look under view online and click the link to access the ebook. In this case the link says Taylor & Francis Ebooks.
