TBR and UT administrators should be willing and able to cooperate on joint library development and advancement. Participation in TALC projects is determined by a library's parent institution or the institution's delegate. UT library participation in TALC projects is determined by a library's representative. Participation by all institutions is not required for a TALC project to proceed. Viability of a TALC project is determined by the project having a sustaining number of participants.
Collaborations require compromise and commitment.
Collaboration will not be impeded by geographic distance. TBR Representatives to TALC will be the Library Dean or Director from each institution, upon the approval of the institution. Such representatives will follow the policies and procedures of their parent institutions and systems. UT representatives to TALC will follow UT practice. TBR representatives will elect five Board members from the TBR representatives.
