The University of Texas Libraries have partnered with the National Central Library of Taiwan to establish the first-ever Taiwan Chinese Studies Resource Center (TCSRC, renamed Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies, TRCCS) as part of its permanent collections.

The National Central Library exchanged a memorandum of understanding with the University Library on November 5, 2012, at a launch event at the Fine Arts Library at The University of Texas at Austin.

The Black Queer Studies Collection, which is designated digitally through notes in library catalog records, features, promotes and increases the discoverability of the UT Libraries’ unique holdings in the area of African and African Diasporic Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies.  

The Latinx LGBTQ Collection is a virtual resource to help researchers locate resources at the University of Texas Libraries that intersect LGBTQ studies with Latinx populations. The collection uses a virt designation added by UT Libraries catalogers to individual records. This means that you’ll see “Latinx LGBTQ Collection” listed as a “Local Note” in records included in the collection. This local note field, MARC field 590, has been used by the Libraries to designate other virtual collections including gifts to the library and the Black Queer Studies Collection.
