Borrowing from Other Libraries

Current faculty, staff, and students can gain access to additional resources in the state of Texas and around the United States through the following programs.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan is an online request service provided by UTA Libraries which allows users to borrow materials like books, DVDs, photocopies of documents, etc., from libraries across the country.

With ILL, you can:

  • Edit or cancel requests that you've made 
  • Check the status of your requests 
  • Get requested articles online if you've authorized electronic delivery of online articles
