EDRD 3337 - Nuñez - Fall 2024: Off-Campus Access

TexShare

A TexShare Card provides you with borrowing privileges from more than 500 participating libraries across the state.

If you’re a registered patron of a participating library, you may request a TexShare Card from your home library. You must be a patron in good standing and have demonstrated compliance with your library’s existing borrowing policies. Ask at the UIW Mabee Library Reference Desk for your TexShare card. You will present this card and your UIW student ID at the lending library.

Off-Campus Access

  • UIW students, faculty, and staff have access to ALL electronic resources from off-campus.
     
  • When accessing materials via the UIW Libraries' site, you will be prompted to verify that you are a current UIW student, faculty, or staff member by signing in with your UIW username and password:

Find Materials at Other Libraries

You may find yourself needing a book or journal article that we do not have readily available to you. In these cases, you have options.

- Order journal articles and books using our interlibrary loan (ILLiad) system. Once you submit a request, we will find a library that has the item. When it arrives, we will send you an email. Journal articles arrive electronically, usually in a few days. Books must be picked up at Mabee Library.

You may visit other libraries such as UTSA or UT Health San Antonio to use their databases and materials on-site. Be sure to call the library in advance to ask about guest access.

You may obtain a TexShare card from the Reference Desk and use it to check out books from other libraries in Texas. To find which libraries have a particular item, use WorldCat.
