How can I use library resources from home?
Use your Student Portal account.

Do you have the book I need?
Search the Library Catalog to find out.

Do you have the article I need?
If you know the journal that published it, you could use our full-text journal list to find it. Otherwise try a relevant database.

Where can I find items on reserve?
Look for materials on reserve by department, course and/or instructor.

When is the Library open?
We have different schedules for the regular semesters and the summer. Check our hours and calendar to learn about them.

How do I get an item from another library?
You can request them through us or we can issue you a card so you can borrow materials from other Texshare libraries, which might be faster.

How do I borrow or renew an item, or pay a fee?
Bring items you wish to borrow or renew to the front desk, where you can pay fees too. You can also renew items online. For more information consult our policies on access, loans, and fees or contact our Access Services Coordinator at 817-202-6242 or jalway@swau.edu.
