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 of the library, you must have a library card with the El Paso Public Library and a pin number.  Go to the TexShare Database....
