TexShare Databases
 
TexShare databases are provided to Texas Libraries by the Texas State Library for use by Texas Library card holders. TexShare enables participating libraries to offer a broader range of materials and services than any single library can provide. In addition to traditional resource sharing arrangements such as interlibrary loan, TexShare services include online full-text databases. These databases provide desktop access to journal articles that were formerly available only in large research libraries.

In order to access the TexShare Databases from a computer outside the library, you must have a card with the El Paso Public Library. You will need to contact your local branch for the login and password. You will need to show proof that you are member of the Library.
