What is TexShare?
TexShare is a cooperative program designed to improve library
service to Texans. TexShare enables participating libraries
to offer a broader range of materials and services than any
single library can provide. It is a program of the Texas State
Library and Archives Commission.
Who participates in TexShare?
Public libraries that belong to one of the regional library
systems in Texas are members of TexShare and academic institutions
that meet the definitions in Education Code 61.003 are eligible
for membership.
What is the TexShare Card Program?
The Card Program is a reciprocal borrowing program which
allows registered users of participating TexShare libraries
to obtain a TexShare card and use the card to borrow materials
directly from other participating libraries. Go
here for more information on the Card program, including links
to Texas library contacts.
What is the TexShare Database Program?
The TexShare Database Program provides a wealth of electronic
database resources to over 700 public, academic, and libraries
of clinical medicine throughout the state at a significant
cost savings. These electronic databases are powerful research
tools available 24 hours a day in the homes or offices of
registered patrons of participating Texas libraries. Go
here for more information on the Database Program, including
links to Texas library contacts.
