The Regional Automation Consortium

TRAC (The Regional Automation Consortium) is a partnership of Marigold Library System, Northern Lights Library System, Peace Library System, Yellowhead Regional Library, and their member libraries. Using TRACpac you can search a combined catalogue of 180 libraries with holdings of nearly three million books, DVDs and other material.

TRAC also participates in Alberta-wide borrowing through ME Libraries. Patrons registered through ME Libraries may borrow materials up to 40 items from any TRAC library, subject to local policies and lending periods.

The libraries within TRAC wish to acknowledge Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8 territory, the Métis Nation of Alberta, and the Métis Settlements. The TRAC libraries are located on territory that provided a travelling route and home to many Indigenous peoples.

TRAC recognizes that our catalogue and resource descriptions contain language that reflects the biases, norms, and perspectives of the time in which they were created. In particular, for resources about persons and groups, this language is often outdated and harmful. We use international standards for description, but support and actively participate in efforts to update and change these practices as we strive for descriptions that are inclusive, respectful, and do not cause harm.

Our commitment to privacy

The Regional Automation Consortium will hold confidential all user record information. Access to user records will be in accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.11.6.1. All member libraries are required to comply with the policy on confidentiality of patron records at the local level.
