Distance Learners

It is the goal of UA-PTC Libraries to provide students, faculty and staff at remote locations and in the online environment with services and resources equivalent to those services and resources provided to faculty and students on the North Little Rock campus and at the Little Rock-South site.

Books, audio, etc.

Up to five items may be checked out for two weeks. Materials may be sent to the Main Campus and Little Rock-South site via courier service. E-books are available through the Library catalog.

Interlibrary Loan

If UA-PTC Libraries does not have the materials you need, you may ask us to borrow the materials from any library participating on the national network. Just submit the Interlibrary Loan Request Form. Articles can be e-mailed or faxed to you; books must be picked up at the Library, but allow 1-2 weeks for delivery of books.

Borrowing from other libraries (ArkLink)

Ask for an ArkLink card at the Library Circulation Desk so that you can borrow materials from an Arkansas college or university near you.
