ABSTRACT

Libraries in Texas have a long history of developing multi-type agreements for resource sharing. The leadership of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, academic libraries, and the regional consortium Amigos have led to the creation of TexShare. The article cites a few of the many examples of multi-type library consortia and partnerships from all over Texas. The most important legislation in 1995 created the Public Utility Regulatory Act of 1995 which in turn generated the Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund (TIF).
