I’ve made an index of the SHARE tapes from Paul Pierce’s collection (IBM SHARE Library). You can find it here:

1690 distributions in 3541 decks, read from 9 tape(s): distribution numbers 0001–3541.

SHARE is an IBM user group formed in 1955, which amongst other things maintained a library of software contributed by its members. The organisation still exists (https://www.share.org/), but I think the library was discontinued in around 1994.
