IT

We have a dedicated IT Adviser who supports both SLS staff and subscribing schools with all matters relating to IT in the school library. Our IT Adviser has a county-wide remit and can be contacted at SLS HQ.

Our IT advice and consultation service includes:

• Library and LRC ICT health checks
• Support and advice on virtual learning in the library
• Advice on maximising the full potential of the school's computerised library management system
• Introduction to the Junior Librarian or Eclipse programme for new staff
• Eclipse / JL and IT user groups for staff development
• Advice on purchase of computerised library management systems

The School Library Service can also provide a subscription to Hambase, the SLS database, from which records can be downloaded for the resources schools buy or borrow from the SLS. This saves staff time in administrative tasks.
