English & American Literature Research

To find books in the library you will need to use the  Library Catalog.

You can search the Classic Library Catalog by:

• Keyword
• Title
• Author
• Subject
• Advanced Search
• You can also use Encore to do a quick search of the Library Catalog.

1. If you find a book you would like to see, write down the Title of the book, the Location, and the Call Number.
2. When you are ready to check the book out, take the book to Access Services and show them your student ID. The student ID is your library card.
3. If the book is for library use only, it cannot be checked out.

If you don't find books of your interest at the UTEP Library; try searching the WORLDCAT database to identify resources available in other libraries around the world. You can request books not found in our library through ILLiad our Interlibrary Loan Department.

English & American Literature books in the general collection (i.e., the Main Stacks) are located on the 5th floor; use these call number ranges when you're browsing areas in the stacks:
