Typical AZ School Library Catalog
There is a DVD but is
there also a streaming
video available?
In the current set up
users must go to a new
screen to answer this
simple question, cutting
into valuable lesson
planning time.
IDEAL subscribers should be able to access all Discovery
videos through one search interface along side other
complimentary teaching resources.

Streaming video could be incorporated into the PUSD online catalog.
Libraries are a great resource for teachers and students.
The long-term, cumulative investment in library materials can be integrated with new online
resources.
Library as a space has simply moved beyond four walls, however it continues to be a one stop
shopping location for reputable information.
The online library catalog is able to accommodate to a variety of
formats just as it always has: cassettes, films reels, CDROMs,
photographs, audio books, e-books, and streaming video.
How does it work?
• Along with each new library acquisition, search
and description data is added to a library
database which users can search.
• Libraries have been building this search
resource for 20 years.
• The search possibilities within the online library
catalog is rich far beyond the reach of Google.
• Don’t we want students to learn the difference
between an arbitrary list and thoughtfully
collected reputable resources?
Where’s the data for large
subscription collections?
• Libraries, school districts, and universities
subscribe to large and costly online collections.
These new online collections do not replace the
large investment of accumulated print materials
nor should users be asked to spend precious
time searching each online collection
individually. All resources whether online or
downtown should searchable from one location!
Make the most of your investments, and upload
search data to the online catalog.
I can provide it!
• Large sets of data can either be provided
(if available) by the vendor or a cataloging
service can prepare the data. Either way
without the accompanying search data
materials get lost in the soup of resources.
Link directly from the Library
catalog!
• Provide a direct link to online
resources.
• Utilize the online catalog’s
power to aggregate materials in
the same subject.
Another way to display streaming
video items added to the collection.
Search the school library catalog and retrieve all available resources:
books, e-books, VHS, DVD, and streaming video!
Reduce time investment of teachers and librarians and fully utilize all
investments in teaching resources through a single search portal.
