Where are the books?
The books are in the "stacks," which are behind the big, imposing wooden desk that you see as you walk in. Look for the two lighted "Exit" signs on either side of the lobby. Go through either one, and follow the yellow stripe on the floor to get back to the stacks.
What do the letters QR (or RC or SB) stand for?
Nothing, really. They're part of the Library of Congress (LC) call number system, and correspond to different subjects.
Can you tell me what I have checked out/overdue?
You can see what you have checked out and overdue by going to the library home page and choosing "Renew Books " on the left-hand side. After entering your UT EID and password, you will see the items checked out to you.
I don't have my UTID, but can I still check out that Reserve book?
No. We try to be as flexible as possible, but that is one rule we really don't bend. You have to have a valid UTID for any checkout. We can't accept your old ID your room mate's ID, or the number without the physical ID. You must have a valid UTID for any checkout.
Can I get a copy of my instructor's old tests? You're supposed to have them on file...
We do not generally keep tests on file. In some cases, instructors choose to send us copies of their old exams to put on reserve. Unless your instructor has done so, we will not have any old exams available for check out.
