Junior Librarian, the state-of-the-art library management system, can be controlled by staff but is easy enough for the children to use themselves. CLAS 4 Schools offers a free demonstration, full installation and fast training.

• Children can borrow and return books unaided – which frees up your staff.

• It keeps permanent, provable records – so you know exactly who’s had what.

• It features book covers and descriptions – so children are inspired to read.

• Children can add their own reviews – encouraging critical thinking and creative writing.

• Children can make book enquiries and searches – developing simple research skills.

• It shows the most popular books at a glance – so you know what to stock up on.

• You can catalogue useful websites too – so children get the best from the internet.

Self-service system
Junior Librarian operates as well on a single workstation as it does across a school-wide network. It’s self-service: children simply scan a book’s bar code and then their own PIN, which stores the transaction immediately. Alternatively, fingertip recognition lets them borrow and return books at the touch of a finger. It’s fast, fun and foolproof, and the children love it!

Straightforward training
CLAS 4 Schools director Diana Weiss trains library staff from her own viewpoint as a librarian rather than a computer expert, using plain English and practical guidance.

Speedy cataloguing
Junior Librarian includes the MagiCat database, which already contains details of almost all the books your school already has or might order – so you’re up and running in no time.

Simple registration
All your pupils’ details can be imported straight into Junior Librarian from your school’s existing administration system – so you don’t even have to key them in.
