MnLINK - The Minnesota Library Information Network
MnLINK - the Minnesota Library Information Network - is a statewide virtual library that is funded with a $12 million appropriation from the Minnesota legislature in 1997. It is a collaborative effort among libraries throughout the state, especially the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, and the University of Minnesota. MnLINK will be a new statewide information system that will link public libraries, academic libraries, school libraries, and government libraries all over Minnesota so that they will appear to the user as a single resource.
