TEXSHARE CARD PROGRAM

A Library Resource Sharing Program of Texas

The Del Mar College Libraries participate in the TexShare Card Program. The TexShare Card Program allows registered users or participating TexShare libraries to have direct, personal access to library materials not available at their public or academic libraries. Many Texas public libraries, colleges, community colleges, and universities, both public and private, participate in the Card program. This method requires one to personally visit the participating library.

To Take Advantage of the TexShare Card Program, Just Follow These Simple Steps:

Register for and receive a TexShare Card from the Del Mar College Libraries. You must be currently enrolled with a validated ID. TexShare Cards are issued at the circulation desks of both libraries.They are good for one semester.

Search the TexShare List of Member Libraries that participate in the Card Program and the specific lending policies of the library you wish to visit.

Present your TexShare card at the reciprocating library's circulation's desk to activate your checkout privileges. You may be required to show a photo ID.

Select the books you wish to borrow and check them out at the circulation desk. Remember that fees will be assessed for lost, late, or damaged materials based on the lending library's policies.

When you're finished with the materials, return them to the lending library either in person or by first-class mail.
