recordings, videorecordings, rare books, or other items which you may
need for your research projects. |

Government Documents |
McFarlin Library has been
a federal "depository library" since 1929 and a state depository since
1979. The Documents website provides information about this
service as well as a rich collection of links and pointers to quickly
locate information from all sorts of federal and state agencies. |

Interlibrary Loan |
The Interlibrary Loan
Department is responsible for borrowing materials from other libraries
which students and faculty need to complete their research, but which
McFarlin does not own. |

Libraries Outside TU |

Oklahoma may be a good source of information and access to materials
not available at TU. If you find something you need at another
Oklahoma library, McFarlin may be able to borrow for you through
Interlibrary Loan, or you may travel in
person to the library. |
