TexShare Working Groups
The TexShare working groups are responsible for providing input from member libraries on TexShare programs, and advising on the policies and operations of each program. The working groups are composed of librarians from academic and public libraries and are chosen to represent the various constituent groups within TexShare, as well as geographic diversity.
If you are interested in serving on a TexShare working group, let us know by completing a brief interest form. TexShare staff will reach out to potential volunteers as needed.
