You can search the library's catalog to find both books and articles. Please be aware that it sometimes appears that we own a copy of a book, but it is the book review. 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 an Interlibrary Loan request can be made to get that book to the patron.

Instead conduct a keyword search for "narrative theory" so it searches anywhere in the record for Narrative Theory.
