Other Libraries

Even if UT doesn't have the book, or if all copies are checked out, you can still borrow it from another library via two methods:

  1. Interlibrary Loan – the UT libraries will find the book and have it shipped, if you have the time. Request via InterLibrary Services.
  2. If you're in a rush, uou can find the book yourself via WorldCat, and go to that library to use the book. If the library is part of TexShare (and most colleges and public libraries in Texas are), then get a TexShare card from the UT libraries so that you can check out the book at the other library.
