Important Tips:

• The NetLibrary e-books are shared by libraries throughout the state of Texas, and are limited to one user at a time.  If you try to open one and find that it is not available, just try again later or follow the "Request to be notified" link to get an e-mail alert when the book is available for your use.
• If you find a Lewis Library book that you want to examine or check out, search the Library Catalog to get its call number and current status.  In WorldCat, you can do this automatically by following the link provided in the record for each title.
• You can use WorldCat to check the availability of books in other area libraries.  First, uncheck the "items in my library" limit if you have it checked.  Then, from the list of search results, select one of the "Libraries Worldwide" links.  From there, you can link into the catalogs of most of the libraries to check current status.  If you are interested in checking out books at other Texas libraries, request a free TexShare card at the Lewis Library Service Desk. For any titles not owned by Lewis Library, you can also use WorldCat to submit an interlibrary loan request.  There is a base fee of $5 for this service, and books can take up to two weeks to arrive.
