Search Google Books the same way you would search Google.com. If a book you are interested in is in the public domain, or, if the publisher has given permission, you may be able to download a PDF copy. The "Find in a library" link tells you where you may be able to borrow a copy. Reference pages provide access to reviews, web references, etc.
If there is a book or article you are looking for but it is not owned by the UNT Libraries, you can make a request for it through our InterLibrary Loan service. For more information about InterLibrary Loan, see our service page on InterLibrary Loan and Document Delivery.
