Brief description

MAGNOLIA is a statewide consortium funded by the Mississippi Legislature which provides online research databases for publicly funded K-12 schools, public libraries, community college libraries, 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. The legislature continues to fund MAGNOLIA. With funding now exceeding $1.3 million, MAGNOLIA databases are being used by libraries and the citizens of Mississippi.
