Borrowing Materials
This page defines the privileges and responsibilities of persons who borrow materials from Texas Woman’s University (探花楼) Libraries. These are continually reviewed and revised by appropriate 探花楼 administrators to reflect current library operations.
Circulation Checkout Policies
- Items in general circulating collections may be checked out by any library user with borrowing privileges.
- Items in our Media Collection, Course Reserves, and other Reserve equipment including any items listed on our Borrowing Technology page may only be checked out by currently enrolled 探花楼 students and active 探花楼 faculty and staff members. Checkout periods for these items vary; select items, including most Course Reserve textbooks must remain in the library while in use.
- Items in non-circulating collections may be used while visiting our facilities in-person, but cannot be checked out from 探花楼 Libraries.
For more information, contact the Information Desk at InformationDesk@twu.edu or 940-898-3701.

Borrowing Responsibilities
Borrowing privileges are extended according to the regulations and policies of the 探花楼 Libraries. You assume full responsibility for all materials issued on your university ID (library card) and for any fines, damages, and/or lost book charges incurred. These responsibilities include the checkout of Library laptops. Your 探花楼 ID card or Courtesy Card, along with your TexShare card, DL or other Institution ID must be presented each time you borrow materials or use library services. Only the person identified on the card may check out Library materials. Only currently enrolled students, staff, and faculty have access to Library computer services, although guest computer stations are available. Lost 探花楼 ID, TexShare, or Courtesy Cards should be reported immediately.
