From the UT Libraries' homepage, type in keywords related to your topic. You can also search a title if you know it.
When your results load, select "Library Catalog" from the dropdown arrow to narrow your results to include books and media
After searching, you need to look for four details:
1. Is this book in print or is it electronic (an ebook that you can access online)?
2. If the book you want is a physical book, log into your account and look for the pick it up button.
3. Is the book AVAILABLE? If not, there will be a due date. If you see a due date, you may request that item be recalled from the user, but the user has 8 days to return the book.
4. Are you ready to check out? Either get the book off the shelf yourself, or click the Pick it Up button and a library staff member will get the book and bring it to the library location you selected to pick it up. Wait for an email telling you your books are ready before you come get them! It will take 1-2 business days.
Not all of our books are available online as ebooks. Here is how to limit your search to only books available online.
