UTSA Library Express and Interlibrary Request Form

The UTSA Libraries provide a seamless service to students, faculty, and staff for research materials that are owned and/or not-owned by the UTSA Libraries.

Upon your request, we locate the Library-owned prints or e-books, media materials, and print or e-journal articles. You will be notified or campus delivered (for faculty only) within 48 hours. All electronic books and articles are electronically delivered to UTSA students, faculty, and staff. If the material needs to be borrowed or purchased, it may take longer than a few days.
