From the official TexShare website: "The TexShare Database Program provides a wealth of electronic database resources to over 700 public, academic, and libraries of clinical medicine throughout the state at a significant cost savings. These electronic databases are powerful research tools available 24 hours a day in the homes or offices of registered patrons of participating Texas libraries. They provide full-text articles from journals, newspapers, magazines, and many other sources. Entire books can be read online. Database topics include homework help for students, health information, business information, biography and genealogy, as well as literature and archival information."
TTUHSC faculty, staff and students automatically have TexShare access via links on the TTUHSC libraries web pages. Persons unaffiliated with TTUHSC can contact their local county or city library about TexShare access.
No. The TexShare Card program for borrowing and lending physical items such as books is a voluntary program. The TTUHSC libraries do not participate.
