This will be presented to the TAL Executive Committee in September. Electric Library Canada is a full text online information source that gives access to journal and newspaper articles and reference works, as well as television and radio transcripts. Contest entrants were asked three general research questions and were given the opportunity to use Electric Library Canada's resources to find the correct answer to one of the questions. The aim of the contest was to encourage visits to public libraries and to increase awareness of electronic resources. The Alberta Library was pleased to support the contest in Alberta.
