TAL Online

TAL Online is a discovery service that allows Albertans to discover and request library items held across Alberta. 

On June 30th, 2016 TAL Online switched from the OCLC WorldCat Platform to a custom built interface (developed by Affinity Bridge) powered by Index Data's masterkey connect service. Development for TAL Online was funded in part the Public Library Services Branch of Alberta Municipal affairs.

The current TAL Online does a live lookup of the catalogues for all the TAL member libraries. 

Since launching in June 2016 development for TAL Online has been ongoing with enhancements added such as: 

• Article Request and Discovery
• Ability to cancel requests
• Language Filters
• Ability to discovery and request items held outside of Alberta
• Check the status of your interlibrary loans: http://talonline.ca/mypubliclibraryill
