ABOUT MAGNOLIA

 MAGNOLIA (Mississippi Alliance for Gaining New Opportunities Through Library Information Access) is a statewide consortium which is funded by the Mississippi Legislature and which provides online databases for publicly funded K-12 schools, public libraries, community colleges, and university libraries in Mississippi.

MAGNOLIA began in 1997 when Mississippi legislators appropriated $568,000 to purchase online databases for publicly funded libraries in Mississippi. Senator Grey Ferris of Vicksburg was instrumental in bringing this project to the legislature.

The MAGNOLIA databases have been of great benefit to Mississippi residents since August 1997. In addition to searching the databases in libraries across the state, individuals can also access the electronic resources available through MAGNOLIA from their home or office computers.

 

LOG IN TO MAGNOLIA

In order to comply with the license agreements with various database providers a new method of verifying that only patrons from Mississippi public and community college libraries have access to the MAGNOLIA databases has been implemented.  You may call the library at (662)335-2331 and provide your library card number to receive the Library's username and access MAGNOLIA from home.
