Alabama Virtual Library


The Alabama Virtual Library, also known as AVL is a wonderful resource for Alabama students, teachers, and citizens. The AVL is online access to library and information resources. Basically it is a website that can be accessed at school or even at home if you obtain a virtual library card. The site has many databases where you can research magazines, journals, and newspaper articles. When searching these databases you can narrow your search by age group, topic, specific database, or particular magazine or journal. Funding for the Alabama Virtual Library is provided by the Alabama Legislature so this a free resource for all.
What a great resource for teachers and students. As an educator you can issue cards to your students so that they can access the AVL. I am sure that as an educator this will be one of many resources that I use in my classroom. Check it out here
