(Frequently
Asked Questions)
I found the journal article I need,
but the journal is only available in
print at UT-Austin. My distance class
is at UTEP, and obviously it is too far
for me to drive to Austin. What should
I do?
Great!
I've requested a couple of articles from
D-Doc, but I do have one that I need
right away. According to the UT Library Catalog, the
journal is available at the Life Science
