To find out if the library owns the book, use the Get Text button and follow the link labeled UNLV Library Catalog. This will automatically run a catalog search for the book’s title or ISBN. A new window should open with the catalog record for the book, which tells you where to find it on the shelf in the library.
If the book is not found, use the LINK+ button in the library catalog to check for copies available for delivery. LINK+ is a network of Nevada and California libraries that delivers books to requesters in 2 -5 days.
If the book you want is available from a LINK+ library, use the Request this Item link to have a copy delivered to the circulation desk at UNLV Libraries for you.
If not found in LINK+, the book may be available from another library through Document Delivery Services.
DDS interlibrary loan requests can take a week or more since the books are sent in the mail between libraries. Requests for book chapters or articles can arrive much faster since they are delivered online directly to you.
