Library Express Service

The Library offers a delivery and retrieval service for library materials to UTSA faculty, students, and staff.

For faculty and staff: Upon your request, we deliver books, DVDs, and/or CDs to your Department Office, and we deliver articles via email within 48 hours if the Library-owned material which you request is available in the Library.

For students and staff: Upon your request, we locate the books, and media materials in the Library and have them ready at the Circulation Desk for you to pickup within 48 hours, if the library-owned material which you request is available in the Library. We will hold the materials at the Circulation Desk for 5 days. Articles will be delivered via email.

UTSA Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to request library materials housed in either JPL or in the Downtown Library. If any material that you requested is not available in the Library, we will obtain the material from another library via the Interlibrary Loan service. This service may take 5 to 7 days.
