TexShare Cards

The TexShare process can be kind of confusing, so let me remind you all of a few things.

First, we cannot issue TexShare cards to people who are NOT a student, faculty, or staff member. They have to be able to already check out books from us for us to make them a TexShare card to use at other libraries.  If a student/faculty/or staff member want to get a TexShare card, they can fill out a form online or there is an "Application for TexShare Library Card'. Remember, if they don't have a UIN... its a no go.

Next, if we have a community member who HAS a TexShare card, we will make them their own card. The instructions for this are posted above the phone and you use a handcheck form to do the initial checkout. Remember to get a copy of their driver's license and TexShare card from their home library. If they do not have a TexShare card, one can be gotten from the public library, but we cannot check out to them until they get one. We HAVE to have to make photocopies of their TexShare cards and ID, not their public library cards.

If you have questions about this, PLEASE ASK. It eliminates a lot of issues on our end when someone.... does a Texshare application for a community member who doesn't have a TexShare card or is a Tarleton member.

Thanks!
