How will the information resources of the AVL be made available?
The content of the Alabama Virtual Library will be delivered online over the Internet to existing computers in public schools, community colleges, four-year colleges, and public libraries across the state. Each computer will need a Web browser (software which is free to schools in many versions) and an Internet connection. Each school system, college and university, and public library will be able to choose its own Internet service provider. For many AVL participants, the Alabama Research and Education Network (AREN) provided by the Alabama Supercomputer Authority will be the Internet provider.
