Searching Around Paywalls

Can't find an article in UTL's databases? Try out Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Request a book, article, chapter, etc., from another library!

If UT doesn't have a subscription or other paid access to a restricted journal, you can also look for open versions of a paper.  These include preprints, post-publication copies, or peer-reviewed accepted manuscripts -- that have been deposited in open, legal repositories.  (This is known as "Green Open Access.")  You can also contact the author and ask for a copy.

There are also browser add-ons that can automatically perform a search for free versions when you land on a paywalled article:
