UTA students, faculty, and staff are welcome to use and borrow these materials. Since no library can own everything, all libraries have a service called Interlibrary Loan, where one library obtains materials from other libraries for the use of the first library's users. Identify desired items. Perform a database search, check bibliographies in the back of articles or chapters, ask for recommendations, etc. Identify journal titles fully with no abbreviations.
Check dates to see if specific issue is available.
Examine dates to determine if specific issue or edition is available. The library user would have to come to the library to borrow the item or photocopy it. The library user fills out a request form and the library worries about it, contacting the library user when the item arrives. Common UTA Library turnaround time is about 2 weeks. A library user may use any library to which that user has permission.
