I want to read an article/book, but the library doesn’t have it and I don’t want to pay. What do I do?

For ARTICLES, try checking our Publication Finder first and then try Google Scholar or ResearchGate to see if they have the article for free.  

For BOOKS, try searching our catalog: https://westlibrary.txwes.edu/resources/catalog

If you still can’t find it, you can request it via Interlibrary Loan.
