It was established as a part of the Green Mountain Library Consortium.

In September 2010, the first libraries began being added to the VOKAL catalog.

VOKAL's catalog also allows users to search Listen Up Vermont (http://www.listenupvermont.org), a shared database of lendable e-books and audiobooks, also operated by the Green Mountain Library Consortium.

In addition, VOKAL's catalog also allows users to search the Project Gutenberg Archive, and download its items.
