New Library Catalogue

Welcome back to a new school term - we hope you had a great Easter break and are ready to put in some hard work for the final term of the school year!

Here at the library we are always trying to improve your information search strategies, and we hope you find our latest addition helpful.

Some of you will have already tried "Oliver", our new library catalogue, which is now available on the library search computers, as well as through the web at the library catalogue page.

Some advantages of Oliver include:

• access from outside school via the web page
• ability to log in to track your loans, reservations and overdue items (login details on CLC)
• simple search interface allows you to view all information on the same page
• click on a subject to list all items with that subject

Many of our new arrivals will include a cover image in this database. You can easily find new items by using the "Quick Clicks" option.

Please let us know if you have any problems with the new service. We would love to hear any comments you may have about Oliver.
