Missing items  If a patron is unable to locate an item that shows up as available in the catalog,  check with the circulation desk to see if the item was recently checked in.  It usually takes 2-3 days from check in to get the item to the shelf -- as the end of the semester approaches and more items are returned,  reshelving takes longer.  Items not located are placed on our search list.  Library Material Delivery Service The Circulation Department will honor delivery requests for UNT Library owned materials:  From Distance Learning students  From students who take classes at the UNT Dallas campus only  For items located in remote storage  For items at other UNT libraries off campus -- Patron should fill out their own request -- Final Circulation Myth Busted!  To offer the best service to our patrons, please contact a full-time circulation staff member if you are unsure of any circulation policy---- We are happy to help!
