What are the online databases?
The online databases are electronic resources on many topics including biography, business, current affairs, education, health, literature, science, and technology. Magazines and newspapers, encyclopedias, and books are all available in full text. The Austin Public Library purchases the right to access some of the databases. Others are purchased by TexShare, a program of the Texas State Library & Archives Commission. Austin Public Library Cardholders can access many of the databases remotely from their home or office computers 24 hours a day. Anyone can search the databases at any Austin Public Library location.
The TexShare Databases are commercial database subscriptions that are paid for by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) for use by registered patrons of Texas public libraries, Texas State governmental agency libraries, Texas academic libraries, and libraries of clinical medicine. The following is just some of what you will find in the TexShare Databases.
