THE ALBERTA LIBRARY CHOOSES OCLC GROUP CATALOG FOR TAL ONLINE

摘要

The Alberta Library (TAL), a consortium of 49 public, university, college, technical institute, and special libraries in over 300 locations in the province of Alberta, has selected a group catalog solution from OCLC as its provincial discovery tool. The revamped union catalog, TAL Online, makes 25 million items available to Albertans and is scheduled to launch this month. TAL licensed the group catalog, powered by OCLC's WorldCat, using provincial technology funds from the Government of Alberta Public Library Services Branch. TAL Online will serve as the primary resource for residents in Alberta searching for items in libraries throughout the province.
