  8. Websites • Searches in Enquiry are for all resources including websites • Easy to add • Send to safe sites identified as relevant and useful to learning • Print out Web Site Directory

  9. Reports • While these are available in ‘Librarian Only’ a security level can be established to allow pupils to access if required • Some of these will be shown in graph from, others as lists

  10. Statistics The School Inspection Report gives basic information on how the library is being used. This can include use by gender, how the different parts of the stock is being used and how many resources have never been loaned.

  11. Review • Pupils can go online and write reviews for the resources they have borrowed. • The questions can be set up and changed for both information and story resources • These reviews are not available to be seen until approved !!

  12. Interactivity • Pupils are interacting in a positive way with ICT • Also helps to reinforce listening skills – but only if speakers are attached (or not turned off) Can download a Microsoft agent (Peedy)

  13. Floorplan • Year 6 project using Paint post SATs? – then upload into system • Does highlight the place in the library where the resource should be (uses map reading skills??) • Helps pupils find resources more easily

  14. Cross-curricular • Other languages • Production of lists – exporting into Excel and then Word – to match topic needs • Interactive - listening (sound files) • Map skills – floorplan • Review – Literacy • Export statistics for ICT or Maths

  15. Connects to local library & their e-learning options

  16. The Future There are plans to launch a totally web based version of the software in the coming year. It will also offer a more personalised response to users – giving indication of new titles which match previous borrowing interests etc. Links to VLE’s being investigated!
