Search A&M-SA's Library Catalog

Catalog Search Tips

Search the Library Catalog above to find books/e-books. If we own the title, Texas A&M University-San Antonio Library will appear on the last line of the citation. The library's catalog also gathers titles that appear within San Antonio area libraries and throughout the world. These books will either have San Antonio Libraries or WorldCat Libraries on the last line.

Any book that is tagged San Antonio Libraries can be checked out by using a TexShare card. For any book that is tagged WorldCat Libraries or San Antonio Libraries, an Interlibrary Loan request can be made to get that book to the patron.
