Getting Access to a Known Source (Book, Article, etc.)
To check to see if we have a specific item:
- For books, journal articles, audiovisual materials, and games, search the catalog using USearch (main search box on library website).
- For journal articles, you can also try searching by journal title and then navigating to the volume/issue/article.
If you know which book or journal article you need but the library does not have it in its collections, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan or Suggest a Purchase. If in doubt, reach out to your Subject Specialist Librarian. We are here to help!
Interlibrary Loan
Get library materials from other libraries for free!
Items not found at University of Utah libraries will be requested from another library through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). In most instances books are available within 1 to 2 weeks and electronic access to articles can be provided within 24-48 hours.
