What are my options if Tarleton doesn't own it?

What do you do if Tarleton doesn't have the book or article that you need? Do not worry! We can help! 

Sometimes a student or faculty member is needing something that the Tarleton Libraries does not own. It could be a book, an article, music score, or video. But, there are options for getting the needed resource. 

  1. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) - Every person with an active Tarleton library account can access their ILL account. 
  2. TexShare - TexShare is a Texas consortium of libraries that allow people who have a TexShare card the opportunity to borrow books from member libraries. 
  3. Google Scholar - Sync your Google Scholar to the Tarleton Library to avoid paywalls for articles.
  4. HathiTrust - Another alternative to locating articles or books is to use HathiTrust.
