Borrowing Materials
This page defines the privileges and responsibilities of persons who borrow materials from Texas Woman’s University (TWU) Libraries. These are continually reviewed and revised by appropriate TWU administrators to reflect current library operations.
Circulation Checkout Policies
- Items in general circulating collections may be checked out by any library user with borrowing privileges.
- Items in our Media Collection, Course Reserves, and other Reserve equipment including any items listed on our Borrowing Technology page may only be checked out by currently enrolled TWU students and active TWU faculty and staff members. Checkout periods for these items vary; select items, including most Course Reserve textbooks must remain in the library while in use.
- Items in non-circulating collections may be used while visiting our facilities in-person, but cannot be checked out from TWU Libraries.
For more information, contact the Information Desk at InformationDesk@twu.edu or 940-898-3701.
