Florida Electronic Library

The FEL is funded through the Library Services and Technology Act from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which is administered by the Florida Department of State’s Division of Library and Information Sciences. The FEL website uses Geo-IP Authentication to recognize that users are Florida residents and therefore have access to the FEL resources. This allows users to access the website without having to use their library identification card's barcode. If Florida residents are traveling outside of Florida, they will need to enter their library card barcode in order to access the FEL. ==Services and Resources==

The FEL offers digital resources such as books, magazines, and newspapers focused on a variety of topics, including current events, business, education, technology, and health issues. Users are able to conduct their search according to 18 different interests, including interests titled "The Caregiver," "The Job Seeker," "The Researcher," "The Small Business Owner," "The Student," and "The Health Care Professional." Selecting one of the interests will provide an automatic list of ebooks, online resources, and databases relevant to the selected interest. The "Browse By" tool of the FEL allows users to easily locate resources relating to Homework & Research, Body & Mind, DIY & Small Business, Career & Jobs, Magazines & Newspapers, Arts & Culture, History & Society, and Florida. Users can email librarians through Ask a Librarian 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. == References ==
