Graduate Retrieval Service

We provide retrieval of local library research resources to graduate students via the online Library Catalog.

Library staff can retrieve books, bound periodicals, and media held in the UTA Libraries collections for graduate students within two business days of request and hold items for 10 days. Items are available for pick-up at the requested library service desk:

• Central Library (CEN)
• Science & Engineering Library (SEL)  
• West Campus Library (formerly AFA)  

Requested items must be from the UTA Libraries' circulating collections and not from the non-circulating or electronic collections. There is a limit of 10 requests per day per graduate student.

NOTE: Scanning and copying services are only available for Faculty and PhD students.
