Updated Library Software at East Marshall School District
The end of the 2020-2021 school year brought a much-needed and much-improved update to the library software system we have used for years at East Marshall School District. Our entire East Marshall Middle School library collection can be accessed from any computer at school or home. We look forward to introducing this to our students in the Fall of 2021.
Alexandria Researcher is a collection of modules that allow you to search and browse our library in different ways. This hub has been customized for our library. Here are a few modules you might enjoy exploring:
• Search is an advanced, customizable search tool that allows you to find exactly what you want. Enter any keyword in Smart Search, or change the search type to find a specific title, author, series, and more.
• Scout is a fast and intuitive smart search tool designed with kids in mind. Find what you’re looking for without distractions. Just enter a word or phrase into the search field, and Scout will start looking.
• Explore is a visually engaging search interface. Click an icon to browse titles related to that category or topic.
• Browse is the portal to our newest books in the East Marshall Middle School Library.
If you have any questions about this new way to access our library collection, please email Sherry Wallace, East Marshall School District Teacher Librarian at swallace@e-marshall.k12.ia.us.
