Off-Campus Library Access - Comet Card Number

Attention all library users! The Comet Card number needed for Library remote access is located on the back of new cards and on the front of old cards. Look for a long 16-digit number beginning with the digits "603."

Library Web Site Changes - User Feedback Requested

The Library Web Oversight Committee has begun a web site redesign to make the site more accessible, easier to navigate, easier to maintain, and bring it more in line with the visual design of the university’s main web site using UTD colors. We have acquired a new logo for McDermott Library and have changed the Library’s homepage to incorporate the new colors. Some links have been added to the homepage including a site map outlining the structure of the web site. A survey will be done regarding changes that have already been implemented and users will have an opportunity to comment on changes they would like to see. Once we have a prototype we will be testing various user groups to get feedback. Comments regarding the Library's site can be sent to libwebhelp@utdallas.edu.

Service Disruption - Interlibrary Loan

Our computer equipment in Interlibrary Loan Services will be undergoing maintenance from 4pm Friday, August 11 through Monday, August 14th.

You will be unable to submit requests, get your articles, or request renewals.

We are sorry for any inconvenience.
