You are in luck! Your entire district is already a member of the Texas
Library Connection. I know that because I just checked the TLC website
membership information at
http://www.tea.state.tx.us/technology/TLC/member.html  (Click on Reg 8
on the map, then select Jefferson).

That means that your students are already able to borrow materials from
other schools throughout the state. There are sample ILL guidelines
posted on the TLC website. Your district had to approve some sort of ILL
guidelines in order to join TLC.

Talk to your campus librarian or to Patty Duke at Region 8
(pduke@esc8.net) for more information.
