ALA members can search American Libraries back issues through 2003 using the ebrary platform, which transforms printed pages into a dynamic database. Link to it on the AL Online website by clicking on "archive" or the cover image at the top <http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/>.

American Libraries' website also features the latest “Internet Librarian” by Joseph Janes; “Technically Speaking" by Andrew Pace; AL's "Career Leads" job ads; listings of conferences, continuing-education courses, exhibitions, and other events from AL's "Datebook"; and Tables of Contents for the current year.
