We're Here to Help!
This pathfinder cannot answer all of your questions about finding library materials, nor will it make you a totally expert library user. We strongly encourage you to consult with library staff at the Reference Desk whenever you have a question concerning the UTSA Library. Our goal is to assist students, faculty, staff and the general public with their research, information, and educational needs by providing the latest in library and information services while maintaining a hands-on, personal touch in the work we do.
