Audience: patrons with TTU eRaider accounts

Document Delivery is a free service available to Texas Tech faculty, staff, and students that allows patrons to request books, articles, and media, both in the Texas Tech Library and elsewhere.

In general, any item held by a library may be requested but some items may be more difficult to get a hold of than others.

• Consortial agreements between libraries prohibit the exchange of textbooks.
• Entire volumes or issues of journals are generally non-circulating.
• Rare items [very old books, unpublished manuscripts, etc] are sometimes non-circulating. If this is the case, you are welcome to request that a portion be scanned.
• Dissertations and theses are often but not always available. In some cases, we can help you to purchase a personal copy if no other options are available.
• If you are looking for a rare or hard to find item and are not sure how to request it, feel free to ask our staff for assistance.

Each request is checked first for availability within our holdings and held for the requesting patron if it is available. If it is not available, we will request the item from other libraries for a short term loan. When your item is available, you will receive notification via email.
