Lending to Other Libraries

TWU Libraries is a reciprocal lending library. We provide materials just as often as we request and receive materials from other libraries.

Who can borrow from us?

We loan items to domestic libraries, including U.S. territories.

Individuals who would like to borrow materials from TWU Libraries may contact their local library or institution’s ILL Department to submit requests.

Our ILL unit does not lend or digitize items located in our Woman’s/Special Collection vault. Contact Special Collections for access information.

How to make a request

Libraries and institutions may submit requests via OCLC or DOCLINE. Please note that we only lend circulating materials. If we cancel your request and you have questions, please contact us via email (ill@twu.edu) or phone (940-898-3728).
