Are you a school librarian who's new to Alaska? An Alaskan who's new to school librarianship? The Alaska State Library wants to put you in touch with the resources you need to best serve the students and teachers of Alaska.
Developing strong vibrant libraries in Alaska!
Library Development provides leadership, assistance and expertise to Alaska’s libraries, in support of a cooperative network of strong and vibrant libraries that serve Alaskans’ educational and cultural needs. (Revised November 2013)
The Statewide Library Electronic Doorway (SLED) was designed to support Alaskan's right to information. SLED provides easy subject access and links to various commercial databases, statewide services, and stable, high-quality Web pages about Alaska and for Alaskans. Anyone with an Alaska based Internet Service Provider (ISP) should be automatically logged into the SLED Databases.
If you have an Alaska based ISP but get a password screen, please fill out this form.
