TexShare Program

What is TexShare?

TexShare is a statewide resource sharing program administered by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC). The TexShare program provides member libraries with a number of services, including access to a collection of full text databases, a reciprocal borrowing program, and interlibrary loan services.

TexShare Update for 2025-2026

The list of databases available through TexShare has changed this year due to reductions in federal funding. TSLAC reviewed all contracts and prioritized the most used resources. As a result, some databases have been discontinued. 

A majority of these changes will take effect on August 31, 2025. For full details, visit the Resources Leaving the TexShare Program section.
