description
This presentation gives a brief history of the rise and rise of digital content, and the challenges to libraries. In particular it focuses on the challenges facing school libraries in their management of digital content – some of which are shared with other types of libraries, and some of which are quite specific to our sector. The Schools Catalogue Information Service (SCIS) as a key service provider and partner with Australian and New Zealand school libraries is committed to helping schools deal with collection management issues.
