The Minnesota Shared Print Program is the effort of 24 academic libraries from across Minnesota. Each participating library has agreed to retain books in their collection deemed an important part of the scholarly record that are in demand but scarcely available within Minnesota or elsewhere in the United States. The program was administered and paid for by Minitex, a division of the University of Minnesota Libraries directly funded by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
An estimated $400,000 is available to fund grant proposals ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 that help to achieve Minnesota’s LSTA Five-Year Plan. A Technical Grant Application Guidance webinar will be held Thursday, June 29. Completed applications are due July 14, 2023.
The Minitex Video Team has published a video to introduce Ebooks Minnesota to library staff in Minnesota. The collection goes live on Leap Day, February 29, 2016. Ebooks Minnesota originated with the 2014 Explore eBooks MN Summit and from the contributions of librarians across the state.
