Biblio School

If you're looking for a software package designed by teachers and school librarians as a teaching resource specifically for the school environment, look no further than Biblio School. Originally created for primary school libraries, this tool may also be applicable to smaller secondary schools.

This software allows the librarian and teaching staff to tailor the level of student participation to their specific needs. Its modular design is perfect for teachers who want to allow as much or as little student participation as their curriculum demands. And with levels of complexity that match student abilities and stages of learning, Biblio School is a helpful tool for any classroom.

At the most basic level, the keyword search module allows students to interrogate the library stock database with ease. This module even supports reading levels and book reviews, making it simple for students to find books they'll enjoy. As students continue to learn and grow, they can move on to more challenging tasks. In the next stage, they can maintain issues and returns from the library on their own. Then, they can move on to the library database itself, entering books and modifying entries with ease. Finally, Biblio School's sophisticated reporting system allows teachers to generate extensive statistics, which can be manipulated and exported to share with students or other educators.

And at just £70, this software is a steal. Biblio School is distributed as Shareware on a 30-day trial basis, though the software remains fully functional from the get-go. Your purchase comes with a full site license, which allows you to use the software on as many copies within your school as you like (including an unlimited network license). And if you have any questions, Biblio School offers unlimited technical queries via e-mail. Plus, you'll receive free updates as they become available. If you're looking for a comprehensive software solution for your school library or classroom, give Biblio School a try.
