San Jacinto College is a member of the TexShare Library Consortium, and one of the benefits that our participation affords you is the TexShare Card. The TexShare Card allows you to borrow materials directly from other TexShare libraries. 

To get your TexShare card, come to the Service Desk at the library and present your student ID.  We will issue you a TexShare card, which you can take (along with your San Jac student ID) to borrow items from another participating library.  You will be responsible for returning the item to the library from which you borrowed it, as well as any overdue fees or charges for lost or damaged items. 

How is TexShare different from ILL?  With ILL, we submit a request from our library to potential lenders; the lending library sends it to us, and you pick up and return the item at your San Jac  library.  With TexShare, you take your TexShare Card and San Jac student ID to a participating library, select and check out items there and return them to the lending library when you're finished.

Among the libraries in the area that participate in the program are the University of Houston, UH-Clear Lake, Lee College in Baytown, all Lone Star College campuses, and Houston Public Library.  For a list of academic and public libraries in the state that participate in the TexShare Card program, visit the Find-A-Library page.  For more information on the TexShare Card, visit the TexShare Website.

Before you visit one of the participating TexShare libraries, be sure to call them to ask what their policies are regarding the TexShare Card.  They may impose some restrictions on the number of items you can borrow and how long you can keep them.
