Dear TexShare Members,

A draft version of the TexShare rule changes were inadvertently posted to the Texas Register last Friday (see email below). Changes had been made after the TexShare Advisory Board meeting that do not appear in the draft.

We are contacting the Texas Register to see about sending a correction. We will let you know when this has been resolved.

The State Library posed in the August 20 issue of the Texas Register for a 30 day comment period: http://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/sos/PROPOSED/13.CULTURAL%20RESOURCES.html#56

Proposed rule review of 13 TAC Chapter 8:

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission proposes amendments to 13 TAC �8.3 and 13 TAC �8.5, regarding the TexShare Library Consortium. The proposed revisions would restrict a single academic institution to a single TexShare membership, eliminating multiple library memberships from the same institution. The proposed revisions would clarify that TexShare member libraries may not enter into agreements that would have the effect of providing TexShare services to entities that do not qualify for membership in the consortium.

Written comments on the proposed amendments may be submitted to Beverley Shirley, Library Resource Sharing Division, Texas State Library and Archives Commission, Box 12927, Austin, Texas 78711-2927; fax: (512) 936-2306.
