Funding for some of these database subscriptions comes from the TexShare Databases Program of the Texas State Library.
TexShare uses its position as a state library program to provide numerous resources to public, academic, and medical libraries that they might not otherwise be able to afford. The Irving Public Library also participates in the TexShare Card program.
