1. Introduction.
Many TexShare libraries
extend free reciprocal borrowing privileges to each other's
students, faculty, and staff.
The TexShare Card Program allows students, faculty, and staff to
check out books from the
participating TexShare libraries.
2. Policies and Procedures.
a. The San Antonio College (SAC) Library
participates in the TexShare Card Program.
b. Students, faculty, and staff must obtain
a TexShare Card at their home library. SAC students,
faculty, and staff may obtain
a TexShare Card at the Reserve Desk in MLC 315. They must
present a current SAC
identification card, have no overdue books, and owe no fines.
c. Students, faculty, and staff who obtain
a TexShare Card will:
(1) Present identification
as required at the lending library. Note: We require participants from
other TexShare libraries to present the TexShare Card; a current student,
faculty, or staff
identification card; and a driver's license.
(2) Observe the regulations
of the lending library. Note: We allow participants from other
TexShare libraries to checkout four books for two weeks. Books may not
be renewed.
(3) Return the books in
person or by first class, insured mail to the lending library.
(4) Pay charges for books
returned late, damaged, or lost.
(5) Surrender the TexShare
Card to TexShare library staff, if requested.
d. The TexShare Card expires at the end
of the semester for students and on August 31 for
faculty and staff.
e. The TexShare Card is better than the CORAL
Pink Card because it may be used again
and again at all participating
TexShare libraries. The CORAL Pink Card may be used again and
again but only at the CORAL
library designated on the Pink Card.
