If we don't have a book you need, you have two ways to go about obtaining it.
- Inter-library Loan
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a Library borrowing service available to CURRENT Texas State students and employees. ILL borrows items from other libraries that the Alkek Library does not own.
Log in to ILLiad to make an Interlibrary Loan request. As a student, faculty or staff member, you have an account already--you just have to activate it.
This service is free to CURRENTLY enrolled Texas State students and employees. Typical turnaround for a book is 2 weeks. Turnaround time for articles varies depending on format (hard copy or electronic) but averages 2 to 3 days. Be sure to build in that possible time in your assignment planning. - TexShare
