Central Library News:

UTA CENTRAL LIBRARY TO OPEN 24 HOURS FIVE DAYS A WEEK - The UTA Central Library will be open 24 hours a day from Sunday through Thursday starting Jan. 13, the first day of the spring semester. The library will be open and staffed around the clock from 9 a.m. Sundays to 8 p.m. Fridays. Saturday hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Extended hours are offered only at Central Library and only to the UTA community. A security officer will be on location each night, and a MavExpress card will be required for admittance after midnight. Non-UTA users will be asked to leave at that time. Services such as circulation, course reserves and interlibrary loan pickup will be available during the late night hours. Library laptops may be checked out, and Sam's Click Internet Café will be open for computer use.


Circulation Info

*Laptops:  Laptop computers are available for UTA faculty, staff, and students to check out at the Circulation Desk. The laptops are for use ONLY in the Library. They may be borrowed for a three hour period and are available on a first-come first-serve basis.
*Reserves:  To place items on reserve, you may use either the print or online course reserves form. Allow approximately one week for reserve items to be processed.  E-reserves must comply with copyright policy.  


Instruction Services

Distance Learning:  Do you plan on teaching a distance learning class during the coming semester? To help your students find research-related items more easily, contact your subject librarian to develop a webpage specifically tailored for course needs. It can include links to individual articles for course readings, relevant webpages, instructions for accessing online resources from your home, and more.


RemindersHave a great day!
