Library Resources & Services

Library Books

The library has both physical and electronic books for the Tarleton community to check out. Borrowers can search the library catalog to find books. To find the library catalog go to the library's homepage

 


Texan Pickup

Texan Pickup is a new service that allows students, staff, and faculty to place a hold on a book and have it pulled from the stacks. The book is then placed on the hold shelf awaiting pickup. Items can also be transferred to the other campus library. Click the link below to learn more.

Interlibrary Loan

Need a book that we don't own? The Tarleton Libraries have a large collection. Unfortunately, the library does not have everything you might need. As a current student you can request items through the library's interlibrary loan service. We search nation wide for items that you may need.

Reserve a room

Did you know that students can reserve a room to work with groups on a project or practice a presentation? 

Reserve a room and collaborate!

The purpose for library computer workstations is to provide access to information that enhances and supports the educational, instructional, and research-related activities of Tarleton students, faculty, and staff. Preference in the use of the workstations is given to Tarleton’s educational community. Guests may obtain a pass to use the workstations, but they must remain on the main level in order to facilitate the staff’s assistance.
