Q. I am a distance student, how can I use the library?
Answer
Delivery of Articles and Books
Distance students request library materials through the Document Delivery department using the online interlibrary loan system, ILLiad. Items are sent electronically or mailed to your designated address via FedEx. When creating an ILLiad account, distance students should select "TTU Distance Patron (Faculty, Staff, and Students)" as their status and give the street address they want to use as their delivery address. For more information contact the Document Delivery office at (806) 742-2239 or libraries.docdel@ttu.edu.
Searching
Distance students can access databases, check titles of electronic journals, and the catalog from off-campus. Find recommended resources from your Librarian on the Personal Librarian page.
TexShare Card
Distance students may be able to borrow materials from local libraries through the TexShare Card Program. For more information, please visit the TexShare website, or contact the service desk at (806) 742-2265 or libraries.circulation@ttu.edu.
