Distance Learning Services

The Texas Tech University Libraries are dedicated to serving the needs of distance students. The Libraries offer specialized circulation and reference services for distance students, and many of the Libraries’ online electronic resources are easily accessible to TTU distance students.

Borrowing Library Materials

Students participating in distance learning may borrow books and receive copies of journal articles owned by the TTU Libraries by using the Library Express service (15¢ per photocopied page). Books and articles not owned by the Libraries can be ordered through Interlibrary Loan. Books will be mailed to the requester, and articles will be delivered electronically. Students may also request a TexShare card that allows them to check out books from almost all libraries in Texas. For more information please contact Library Express at (806) 742-2245 or liexp@lib.ttu.edu and Interlibrary Loan at (806) 742-2239 or liill@lib.ttu.edu.

Electronic Reserve

Many professors place articles, notes, and other course materials on E-Reserve for students to access via the Libraries’ Web page. For access to E-Reserve please visit http://www1.lib.ttu.edu/eres/.

Reference

Reference assistance is available to distance students via telephone, email, and Fax.

Each academic department at TTU is assigned a librarian who specializes in the resources of that subject area. Consult the Libraries’ Web page at http://www.lib.ttu.edu/collections/liaisons.htm for the names of the subject librarians.

Remote Access to Electronic Resources

Distance students can use many of the Libraries’ electronic resources from any Internet-connected off-campus computer. Some of these resources require typing in a 14-digit number found on their TTU ID (2 1295 xxxxx xxxx) and a PIN number (the last 4 digits of their Social Security Number). Please contact the Circulation Department at circ@lib.ttu.edu or (1-888-270-3369) to obtain a 14-digit number.
