Schools Catalogue Information Service
The Schools Catalogue Information Service (SCIS) is a national cataloguing service for Australasian schools. The SCIS database contains one million bibliographic records of educational materials.
Each record for each book, audiovisual item, computer program, learning object and website contains complete cataloguing details, including subject headings designed specifically to suit schools. Book cover images are also available for use in school library systems. Approximately 3,500 catalogue records are added to the SCIS database each month. Over eight million SCIS records were provided to individual schools in Australia and New Zealand during 2007.
SCIS reduces the cost and effort required by library staff, freeing staff to teach students research and information skills, and to liaise with teachers.
The SCIS team supports information services and products, including:
- Connections: quarterly newsletter for information services and ICT relevant to school libraries;
- Curriculum Leadership Journal: a weekly electronic magazine for Australian education leaders and managers;
- The Schools Online Thesaurus (ScOT): a natural language-controlled subject vocabulary;
- The Educational Lending Right (ELR) scheme: making payments to eligible Australian creators and publishers whose books are held in educational libraries; and
- Barcode scanners.
