Finding Books

A Good Book Can Help

  1. Use the library catalog to find books in the collections of the UT Libraries.
  2. Keyword searching is the default but searches can be focused by selecting other options, including a specific author search or limiting by date or location.
  3. Subject headings, when provided, can help you move from one good book to other, related books.
  4. Search for the words you would like to see in a book title or description.  Some general subject headings include "Human engineering," "Barrier-free design," "Ergonomics," "Human factors," "Anthropometry," and "Universal design."

 

Can’t find the book you wanted?

  1. Request a copy thru InterLibrary Services (ILS) - ILS can obtain books, article scans, and other material not owned by the UT-Austin Libraries
  2. Request a book be added to the library via the Suggest a Purchase form
