Gas Prices Cause Rise in Online Courses

We're all suffering from the high cost of gas. With prices hovering around the $4.00 mark, it's no wonder students are looking for relief.

Here at Tarleton, if you are enrolled in off-campus courses you might want to check out the library’s Distance Services http://www.tarleton.edu/~library/distance.html.

The library has a courier service available to deliver materials between the Stephenville, Killeen, Waco, Fort Worth, and Weatherford campuses each Tuesday and Thursday.

If you do not live, work, or attend classes near any of the listed courier delivery locations, you may be eligible for Home/Office delivery of library materials. You will need to register with the library at http://www.tarleton.edu/~library/dsform.html. Users are required to register each semester with the library as a Distance Learner to continue home/office delivery service.

Requests for materials can be placed through your ILLiad account http://www.tarleton.edu/~library/borrow.html. Depending on your location, items will be sent via the campus courier or mailed directly to your home/office. Most article requests are sent electronically as PDF documents when possible.

If you receive home/office delivery, you will be responsible for mailing borrowed materials like books, videos, etc. back to the Dick Smith Library. A “Postage Paid” label will be provided.
