Originally established in 1993, the partnership offers member institutions cost efficiencies and shared resources. MLP provides a library automation system, administered by 91传媒 Libraries, which also lends technical expertise, support and training to members.

All within Mississippi, member libraries include public and academic institutions with combined holdings of more than 3.1 million items. MLP allows patrons to request books from any member library and pick them up at their own local library.

DSU鈥檚 inclusion in the MLP adds an additional 334,000 items to the shared collection.

鈥淲e are very excited and honored that Delta State University made the decision to become a member of the MLP. The addition not only increases the resources available to the existing members of the partnership, but also greatly expands the resources available to the DSU community,鈥 said Anita Winger, 91传媒 Libraries鈥 automations system manager.
