About the TexSelect
Databases:
TexShare has contracted with vendors to provide a number of
specialized databases and journals. TexShare member libraries
are eligible to subscribe to these databases at negotiated subscription
fees that are usually less than member libraries would pay if
they subscribed to these databases daily.
This page lists the TexSelect databases by vendor and provides
links for those who wish to read a general description of each
database and find the vendor and sales contacts.
Be sure to mention the TexShare name and TexShare consortium
when contacting vendors.
For further information on TexSelect questions, please send

OCLC FirstSearch Databases:
The OCLC FirstSearch service is a comprehensive reference service
with a rich collection of over 60 databases supporting research
in a wide range of subject areas. It includes bibliographic and
full-text databases in addition to ready-reference tools such as
directories, almanacs and encyclopedias. At the heart of FirstSearch
is WorldCat®, containing more than 152 million records representing
over 1.4 billion holding locations in libraries worldwide. WorldCat
adds value to databases in FirstSearch by linking citations to holdings
that helps users find these materials in their own libraries and
through the WorldCat Resource Sharing service. You can also limit
your searches to the collections of your own library or library
group.
TexShare subscribes to WorldCat for all participating libraries.
Libraries may purchase additional FirstSearch databases on their
own. For a list and description of all FirstSearch databases please
visit the following website: http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/firstsearch/databases/dblist/default.htm
- Some databases are available on a per-search basis and TexShare
libraries receive a significant discount below the national price
on purchase of block searches
- Subscription databases are available at discounted prices that
vary depending on the number of TexShare libraries that subscribe
to the various databases
- 60-day no obligation trials are available for most FirstSearch
databases. To request database trials please email Debi
Lopresti, loprestd@oclc.org
- Libraries wanting a price quote for FirstSearch databases should
send their request to Debi Lopresti, loprestd@oclc.org
and include the database name(s) along with your institution
name and either population served (public libraries) or FTE count
(academics). Debi will email requested price quotes back to

including Journal Manager (includes Management links plus TDNet's
