TexShare Card

The purpose of TexShare is to support and encourage resource sharing among Texas academic and public libraries. TexShare was initially limited to state university libraries, but was expanded by the 75th Legislature to include community colleges and selected independent colleges and universities. In August 2000 the public libraries in the state were invited to join the program.

The Tex-Share library card program enables Weatherford College faculty, students, and staff to use the libraries of other participating institutions. To apply for a TexShare card, if on campus please contact the Circulation Desk in the Library. If you are a remote user/distance education student or a student at the Mineral Wells or Decatur Centers send an e-mail request to Ask a Librarian. Be sure to include your name, your student ID number, and your address in the request. Application forms are also made available to your Instructor.

After verification the TexShare card will be mailed to Distance Education, Mineral Wells and Decatur Center users.

Contact each TexShare library to get complete information on:

• The library's hours.
• How to get to that library.
• What privileges and responsibilities you will have at that library.

A list of TexShare libraries and policies and contact information for individual TexShare libraries is available.
