Through collaboration with systems and institutions, the Office of Higher Education assists in the development of shared library resources.

• The agency oversees Minitex Library Information Network, a publicly supported network of academic, public, state government, and special libraries working cooperatively to improve library service for their users.

• The Minnesota Library Information Network (MnLINK) is a statewide virtual library that electronically links major Minnesota libraries. The agency helps facilitate ongoing development of this project.
