Services for faculty
Did you know that you have 24/7 access to the Texas State University Libraries from anywhere? That's right, whether you are on campus, at home, at another university, or conducting research in the field anywhere in the world, you can access the Texas State Library resources anywhere that you have Internet access.
The Library’s online catalog and electronic resources, such as databases, ebooks, and ejournals, are accessible from any workstation connected to Internet. If you are prompted for a user name and password, simply enter your NetID and password to access to these valuable research resources.
We have a Faculty Library Guide as well as a Faculty Services webpage for a more in depth list of services available to Texas State faculty.
