Fifty years ago, Minnesota finished an experiment: the Minnesota Interlibrary Teletype Experiment, now known as Minitex. Over the coming year, we’ll invite the entire library community to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We’ll share stories, honor the leaders and organizations we’ve relied upon over the years, and join together to celebrate half a century of collaboration.
What started with 11 libraries shipping and sharing books has grown to partnerships with hundreds of libraries across Minnesota and beyond. Join us this year as celebrate 50 years of library services and sharing. Watch the video: z.umn.edu/mtx-50-video
