We invite you to help us build the University of Texas Library collection!
In the next year, the University of Texas Libraries will add more than 100,000 volumes to its collection, which will support the learning, research and knowledge of our 50,000 students and more than 3,000 faculty and researchers.
Your involvement will help improve the UT experience for our students; provide needed resources for our faculty; and impact research that will change the world.
It’s easy…by selecting one or more items from the list below and making a contribution that will purchase the item(s) of your choice. In recognition of your passion for providing resources for our students and faculty, we will list your name or name you designate (for honorees or memorials) in the online catalogue record for the item you purchased.
The wish list below includes items that have been identified by our librarians and faculty as important resources needed for instruction and research. This list is by no means everything that faculty have requested.
We hope that you take a few moments to review the list and find an item that excites you or one that you feel UT should have. The list can be sorted so that you can find something of interest conveniently.
Thank you for contributing to the future of our University!
If you have questions about a specific item or subject area, please call Gregory Perrin, assistant director for development at 512-495-4349 or email at perring@austin.utexas.edu.
Womens Wear Daily
Women's Wear Daily provides librarians, researchers, and students with a unique opportunity to access the complete digitized backfile of this definitive fashion publication. Every page of every issue, including all advertisements and images, is scanned from cover to cover in high resolution full color and presented in page image format with searchable text. By offering the entire archive of Women's Wear Daily, previously unavailable in digital form, this unique resource opens up new research opportunities for scholars and students looking for authoritative material related to the fashion industry and fashion trends. Serving as a record of how the fashion industry developed over the twentieth century, it provides valuable primary source research material not only for fashion students but also for students of business, retail, marketing, merchandising, cultural studies and social history.

Medieval Travel Writing
This project provides direct access to a widely scattered collection of original medieval manuscripts that describe travel - real and imaginary - in the Middle Ages. The project combines: multiple manuscript sources detailing the journeys of famous travelers from Prester John and Marco Polo to Sir John Mandeville and John Capgrave; translations and supporting materials (all of which are fully searchable); maps showing the routes of the travelers; and Introductory essays by leading scholars.
These sources tell us much about the attitudes and preconceptions of people across Europe in the medieval period, shedding light on issues of race, economics, trade, militarism, politics, literature and science. They will be welcomed by scholars in both literature and history as well as by French and German studies departments.
LGBT Life with Full text
This is a yearly subscription to online database of scholarly articles and primary source material related to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies.
While we have resources that cover gender studies more broadly, this is the primary one for LGBT Studies specifically and includes frontline content from regional LGBT publications. This material supports the growing number of LGBT- focused classes offered at UT as well as the LGBT Research Cluster, one of several official research groups spearheaded by the Center for Women's and Gender Studies. The Cluster is working on developing an LGBT Studies degree program, which this material also directly supports.

Indian economic and social hi...This is the foremost journal devoted to the study of the social and economic history of India, and South Asia more generally. The journal publishes articles with a wider coverage, referring to other Asian countries but of interest to those working on Indian history. Its articles cover India's South Asian neighbors so as to provide a comparative perspective. Issues are periodically organized around a specific theme as a special number. The journal's principal features are research articles, substantial review articles and bibliographic surveys, which also cover material available in Indian languages, as a special feature.
This is a key journal for Indian social science.
Eye on Dance & The Arts Video
Hailed as "one of the liveliest and most intelligent programs on the arts" by the New York Times, EYE ON DANCE & THE ARTS is the only series of its kind. Launched in 1981, this issue-driven series chronicles over a decade of dance and arts figures. Propelled by lively discussions, each program documents cutting-edge, established, and historical voices. Photographs, videotape excerpts of performances, and demonstrations enhance each segment's visual content.
This series is on DVD now and Fine Arts Library owns only 6 of the 326 half-hour programs. Having the whole series would be ideal. Each half-hour program costs $175.
