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 an e-mail to: databases@tsl.state.tx.us
