May I check out government documents?

Many government documents at UNT may be checked out at the Government Documents Service Desk (on the Third Floor of Willis Library) or at the Circulation or Checkout Desk (on the First Floor of Willis Library) by presenting a current I.D. card that is honored by the UNT Libraries. See the Circulation Policies of the UNT Libraries for information about loan periods, checkout limits, renewals, fines, and replacement charges for lost or damaged materials.

If you are not a UNT student, you may be eligible to apply for a UNT Libraries Courtesy Card, which may also be used to check out government documents.

Some government documents are “non-circulating,” which means they must be used in the library building, and may not be checked out. Exceptions to this rule are made in special cases, such as student class presentations or faculty research. Please call our Service Desk at (940) 565-2870 for more information about “non-circulating” check-outs.
