In the 1990s libraries across Alberta faced a number of challenges and opportunities, including the information explosion, the development of new technologies, the emergence of the Internet and a changing government philosophy.
A grassroots response to these challenges led to the creation of The Alberta Library (TAL) in 1997. Internationally recognized for cooperation and collaboration, TAL is a province-wide consortium that now serves 50 member libraries in over 300 locations across the province, including:
- public libraries
- regional library systems
- university libraries
- college, and technical institute libraries
- special libraries
Member libraries work together to take advantage of changing technologies, find creative solutions and seize new opportunities. As a result, Albertans at even the smallest library have access to more than 30 million resources.
The Alberta Library (TAL) examined The Grand Math Connection and deemed it to be an excellent educational resource. As a result, this website is now linked to one of their sites called, The Discovery Link. https://www.taldiscoverylink.com/
