Some items are only available on campus or will require authentication via EUID and Password at the point of use.
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.
The UNT Libraries provide both print and electronic books for the UNT community, and you can search for all of them in the UNT Library Catalog.
Print books are stored in the Willis Library, Sycamore Library, Discovery Park Library, Frisco Landing Library, and Remote Storage. Most print books can be checked out for a period of time determined by your status- see our circulation policy. Request a book from Remote Storage or another library on campus by placing an online hold on the title.
E-books can be viewed and used immediately, or checked out, and even downloaded to electronic devices (options vary by e-book and platform).
You can find books available at the UNT Libraries by using the UNT Library's Discover (catalog).
If you need help using the catalog, you have several options:
WorldCat allows you to search for books, CDs, DVDs, and articles in libraries around the world. If the library that holds the item you need is a member of TexShare and you have a TexShare card, you can check them out. This can be very helpful to you if you are a distance student or a commuter. UNT Libraries' Circulation Department can send books that we own to distance learners but Interlibrary Loan can't borrow books from another library in that situation. For commuters, going to a nearby library may be quicker than coming in to Denton to get a book.
WorldCat via FirstSearch is a catalog of books and other materials in libraries worldwide. The database contains over 179 million records covering over 400 languages. WorldCat does not include individual articles, stories in journals, magazines, newspapers, or book chapters. Dates of Coverage: Before 1000 BC– Current.
