Created in 1997, The Alberta Library (TAL) has grown into an award-winning consortium of over 48 member libraries in over 300 locations across the province that work together to promote barrier-free access to information, ideas, and culture. Members include public, university, college, technical institute, and special libraries.
Internationally recognized for collaboration and innovation, TAL is the result of the library community coming together to find better ways of providing services.
TAL provides a variety of services and administers the Online Reference Centre (ORC).
