Minitex Shared Collection II (2,725 eBooks)
This collection was built by a group of over 85 libraries in Minnesota, North Dakota
and South Dakota that contributed over $200,000 to purchase eBooks.
The collection development process was executed by librarians representing four-year
academic, two-year academic, public and high school libraries and titles chosen
represent a wide array of subjects. The eBooks in this collection are mainly post-2002
imprints. Several reference books were selected for inclusion.
Libraries who contributed funds provide their patrons with direct access to this
collection from their Web sites and catalogs via MARC records and receive patron
usage reports. Citizens of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota may also access
this resource through their statewide portals and catalogs.

This collection, made available to all libraries in the Minitex region, was built
with generous contributions from several libraries or organizations including Minitex,
University of Minnesota—Crookston, Minnesota State University—Mankato,
Rochester Community and Technical College, Winona State University, Metronet,
National American University, South Dakota State Library, North Dakota State Library
in cooperation with North Dakota academic universities, and the Minnesota CLIC Schools.

audiences. Certain of the funding contributors focused on purchasing books for this
collection in the areas of business, agriculture and life questions.
While many libraries have direct access to this collection from their Web sites and

books from their statewide portals and catalogs.
