Get Help from Reference Librarians

Tarleton librarians are dedicated library professionals who offer support throughout your academic journey. They serve as the go-to point of contact for any research or information needs, guiding you through the library’s extensive resources, research tools, and services. Librarians are trained researchers who can suggest strategies to help get you started on your assignment, decipher abbreviations and context, and advise you on hard-to-locate materials. They can help you find and understand library and open access resources, request an Interlibary Loan when necessary, and assist you in getting a TexShare Card for access to other libraries.
