Books From Other Libraries

If you are interested in books which are not owned by the libraries @ Texas State, they can be requested via our Interlibrary Loan service (see details in our "Library Services" tab above)  

We have access to several databases containing full texts of books from around the world.  Please see the "Databases" tab above for links to those resources. 

Note: There is a direct link to interlibrary loan service from each record in the Worldcat database.  This makes requesting easy!

Not all libraries listed will loan materials.  This is especially true for non-U.S. libraries.
