First published in ACCESS, Volume 34, Issue 3, September 2020, this blog post reviews the 2010 Federal Government Inquiry into school libraries and presents data and responses collected from Softlink surveys during this time.
Whether you’re searching the internet or searching Oliver, using good search strategies will provide you with a much more satisfactory search result. This blog explores wildcard searching, Boolean search operators, phrase searching, relational searching, searching in Oliver, and we’ve also provided some lesson plans that help students use Google more effectively.
At Softlink, we take a user-centred approach to product development. This means we start by understanding what users need and want from a library software system, then we work to develop innovative, targeted solutions with features that are helpful, intuitive and easy to use.
Teacher Librarian Liz Derouet shares advice for identifying reading trends in the school library using reports in Oliver v5 library software and how she uses the data to improve school library services.
