The new Library Catalog allows you to:

  • Conduct enhanced searches by:
    • Keyword (e.g., “cancer”, “diabetes”)
    • Phrase (e.g., “Alzheimer’s disease”, “myocardial infarction”)
    • Resource type (e.g., “print”, “electronic”)
  • Quickly renew materials and update personal account information
  • Place holds on checked-out Library materials
  • Use new centralized “Library Services” Catalog location for frequently used Library services, such as Interlibrary Loan, Literature Search Request, and Suggest a Book/Journal

    • To login, go to the Library Catalog and enter your Library User ID (i.e., the bar code on your Library card or the back of your UT Southwestern ID) and Library PIN.
    If you have any questions about the new Library Catalog, please visit the Library Catalog FAQ or contact Libwebmaster@utsouthwestern.edu.
