This short video tutorial shows how to find and access the E-books using the UTEP Library's catalog, Encore.

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 catalog.

1. If you find a book you would like to see, write down the Author of the book, 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.

The location Mains Stacks is divided by call number as follows: 

• 3rd floor A-G  
• 4th floor H-PR
• 5th floor PS-Z

Once you find your book look around that immidate section; for all books (except Gov Docs) are arranged by subject.
