Borrowing Materials
With ongoing renovations on the third floor, browsing will not be available at this time. Instead, users may access library materials using the following methods:
Study Rooms
A limited number of study rooms will be available for reservation. Users are asked to limit the number of people inside each room in order to keep a safe distance from others. Reservations can be made for up to two hours at a time.
Laptops
Laptops are available only to currently registered UTSA students, who may sign up for one using the online request form. Most laptops will be available for semester-long checkout. A limited number of laptops will be available for 24-hour checkout.
E-Reserves
UTSA Libraries has a selection of print textbooks on reserve primarily for lower-division, high-enrollment classes. Print textbooks put on reserve by faculty will be available for student checkout. The Libraries will make materials available in digital format whenever possible. The Libraries cannot guarantee that it will be possible to fulfill all requests due to availability, licensing and copyright issues.
Online Services
The Libraries’ highly used online services will continue, including:
