If UNT does not own the book I need, how can I get a copy?

There are two ways to find and retrieve books that UNT doesn't own:

First, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). ILL requests for books take between two and four weeks to fill.

The second way is to see if you can find the book at another library in the area. One way to do this is to search the WorldCat database, available to the UNT community through OCLC FirstSearch:

  1. Select "All Areas"

  2. Select "WorldCat" (at top of menu)

  3. Click on the "Select Database" button

You can place a request for the material through this database by clicking on the ILL icon at the top of the screen.This information will be sent to the UNT Libraries Interlibrary Loan department and they will contact you when it arrives.
