Interlibrary Loan Service

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

This service is free to 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.

Pickup and Return Information:

Pick up items at the Circulation Desk on the 2nd floor all hours the library is open.
Return items to the Interlibrary Loan Book Drop located near the photocopy machines on the 2nd floor or to the Circulation Desk on the 2nd floor.
The Interlibrary Loan office is located in Room 213 in Alkek Library.

Call the ILL office: 245.4893
