Students may request books and journal articles from the libraries on the main campus where there is a print collection of more that 4 million volumes using our Get It For Me service.
Get It For Me is a document delivery service, which supplies print books or electronic copies of journal articles or book chapters, free of charge to all students, staff and faculty. Print books generally arrive in Qatar within five to ten working days. Electronic versions normally are emailed within one to two days. Material not available from the main campus libraries can often be obtained from other North American universities and libraries and generally arrive within two to four weeks.
If we do not hold an item, or do not have electronic access to it, there is another option. If you are a Texas A&M faculty, staff or student and have a NetID the Texas A&M at Qatar Library can borrow from other libraries on your behalf. Delivery time is normally around:
Electronic copy is much faster to get hold of so please indicate in the online form whether electronic copy (or a section of an item) is adequate for your needs. To request an inter-library loan please use the "Get it for me" online form >>
