What is the Alabama Virtual Library? [26 June 99]: Alabama Virtual Library: A VISION FOR ALABAMA Most Alabama librarians have heard that the Alabama legislature appropriated $3,000,000 earmarked in the budget of the Alabama Public Library Service for the Alabama Virtual Library.

Participants in the Alabama Virtual Library are the five state education agencies and their constituents: Alabama Commission on Higher Education (Network of Alabama Academic Libraries) Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education (public two-year colleges) Alabama Public Library Service (public libraries) Alabama State Department of Education (public K-12 school systems) Alabama Supercomputer Authority (Alabama Research and Education Network and technical support for the AVL) Each of the five state educational agency directors appointed three members to the Alabama Virtual Library Council which is charged to implement and manage the Alabama Virtual Library.

About Us News Classical Music Programs ... NPR Commentaries AIDS Alabama Birmingham Lawmakers in the full Alabama House gave approval to a 4-and-a-half billion dollar Education Trust Fund budget. Money ($40 million) is in there for the Alabama Reading Initiative and for lawmakers' projects in their respective districts. However, lawmakers cut funding for non-state agencies, museums and other educational programs that were once funded by the budget. One organization, AIDS Alabama, says Alabama school kids are the ones who will suffer for the cuts. WBHM's Steve Chiotakis spoke with the CEO of AIDS Alabama, Kathie Hiers. Hiers says her organization saw the cuts coming. And she says every year there is a debate about whether the funds for AIDS Alabama, about $250,000 would be cut. But she says her HIV/AIDS education initiative in schools all across the state is mandated by the state school superintendent and AIDS Alabama is the logical and economical choice in administering it, given the infection rate among young people. "We have almost two new infections in Alabama every single day. And about half of the new infections are young people," she says. "I shudder to think what the infection rates are going to go to if we don't provide this education in the public schools."
