Biology: Books

Use the Library Catalog to search the main collection for print resources, multimedia resources, and ebooks. The Catalog also provides location and availability details. Use "Quotation marks" when searching a phrase. 

Books, eBook, and multimedia can also be searched using Start Your Research by limiting search results to the Library Catalog.

As the library services are currently running on a limited basis, we are temporarily offering scanning services for material out of print books (maximum 50 pages, 1 request per day)

ILL is a free library lending service available to current TxState students and employees. ILL borrows items from other libraries that the Alkek Library does not own. Use ILLIAD, the online interlibrary loan request system, to order your ILL items. Typical turnaround for a book is 1-2 weeks and must be picked up at and returned to the library. Articles are sent to requestors via email.
Contact & Pick-up Info: 512.245.4893 or email. Items can be picked up at the Ask Alkek Desk on the 2nd floor of the Library.

A TexShare card is free for all current Texas State students and employees and provides borrowing privileges at participating libraries.
