Log in to ILLiad to make an Interlibrary Loan request

Interlibrary Loan is a Library lending service available to current TXST students and employees. ILL borrows items from other libraries that Alkek Library does not own.

This service is free to current Texas State students, faculty, and staff. 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.

You may pick up items at the Checkout Desk on the 2nd floor all hours the library is open.
Please return items to the Checkout Desk/Reserve Desk on the 2nd floor.
Interlibrary Loan staff is available M-F 8a.m. to 5p.m. Call the ILL office: 512.245.4893

Searching the Library Catalog

Types of Searches

Keyword

  • Combine terms using AND.
  • This search returns records that contain words that match exactly what you typed in.
  • This is often (but not always) the best place to start.

Subject

  • Catalog uses pre-defined subjects. 
  • This type of search works well if you are browsing for a particular subject that you know or a broad term. So if you aren't finding anything, switch to the keyword search instead.
  • Subjects are arranged using the Library of Congress Classification system.

Author

  • Author searches are for looking for items a particular person has authored or written.
  • The library catalog works best if you type in searches in the format "Lastname, Firstname."
  • If you want books about a person, search for their name by subject.

Title

  • Use this search if you know the title of the material that you want.
