Frequently Asked Questions

Many course textbooks are available at the front desk for in-library use. Search by title and author in the library catalog or browse Course Reserves by department if you're unsure. Most checkouts are for 2 hours, and availability may be limited, so use this as a supplement—not a substitute—for buying your textbook. For search tips and full instructions, see full FAQ →

Study rooms can be reserved online for individuals or groups. Use the Study Room Reservations page to select your room type, set your date and time, and complete the booking. Be sure to check in at the start of your reservation or it may be canceled. For full instructions and tips on using study rooms, see full FAQ →

If UCA Library doesn't have the item you need, students, faculty, and staff can request it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Most electronic articles arrive in 2–4 days, and physical books or DVDs in about 7–12. Requests are best made through the UCA Library website using the "Request via Interlibrary Loan" button. You'll be notified by email when the item is ready. For full instructions and tips, see full FAQ →

Search for books or items on the library website, then check the record for location and availability. You can find items yourself using the call number, or place a hold to have library staff pull it for you (excluding textbooks and equipment). Bring your BearCard to check items out at the front desk.
