You can search for books, e-books, CDs, DVDs, and videos in the Library's Discovery. Begin with a keyword search and click on the title to view the entire record for that item.

You can search for e-books only in the Library Discovery by adding the words and electronic books to your keyword search.

You can also limit your search to e-books by doing a keyword search in Net Library.

You can use SAC ID to check out books from any other ACCD Library.

With your SAC ID and a Texshare card you can check out books from many academic libraries in San Antonio and throughout Texas. You can get your Texshare card from the Reserve Desk (Room 315) on the 3rd floor of the Library.

You'll need your Texshare card and your SAC ID to check out books from local academic libraries. You can first search the Discovery of a library to see if it has the books you need. Click here to access a list of local SA library Discoverys.

You can also request that books and journal articles which our Library does not own be delivered to you by filling out an Interlibrary Loan request.

Library books or DVDs due tomorrow?  Don't want to drive to campus to check them out again?  No problem.  Simply renew your items from any computer with internet access by visiting our Renew Your Items link.
