LIBRARY USER GUIDE

Amberton’s Library Resource Center contains a variety of materials that explore the resources available to you as you explore your courses and research. This guide is provided to help students locate these materials.

 

The print resources are available in the Library on Amberton’s main campus in Garland, TX. However if you do not live near this campus, you may want to explore one of the following options:

 

Interlibrary Loan is commonly available through public libraries all over the United States, as well as through the Amberton Library. These libraries can borrow books and/or acquire photocopies of journal articles that are not a part of their collections. There will usually be no cost to the library user for the load. Go to your local public library and ask for “Interlibrary Loan” at the Information or Reference Desk or call the Amberton Library at 972-279-6511 extension 185.
