Resources & Services for Online Student Services
Refer to the links below to find information on different services offered to students. Additional services can be found on the university's Students page.
Library
Steen Library's Distance Education page explains how to connect to the Ralph W. Steen Library, find and get a book, article, newspaper, or government document.
Through the library's online catalog, you can access the public holdings of both the SFA Library and the Nacogdoches Public Library. You can also directly search numerous general and subject-specific computer-based indexes, and can, in many cases, view the text of the information. Librarians are available to help with your research in specific subject areas and with any specific needs you may have.
