MINITEX

The MINITEX Library Information Network (MINITEX) is a publicly supported network of academic, public, state government, and special libraries working cooperatively to improve library service for their users in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. There is reciprocity with Wisconsin libraries.

The MINITEX program is funded by the Minnesota Legislature through the Minnesota Office of Higher Education to serve Minnesota academic and state government libraries. MINITEX is a joint program of the Office of Higher Education and the University of Minnesota. The Minnesota State Library Services (the Minnesota state library agency), a unit of the Minnesota Department of Education, provides additional funding to support services for Minnesota libraries and library users.

Libraries in North Dakota and South Dakota participate in MINITEX programs through contracts between the MINITEX Office and the North and South Dakota State Libraries.

MINITEX programs are coordinated by the MINITEX staff located at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Libraries, which fills the majority of requests sent to the MINITEX office.
