SCIS for your school library

What is SCIS?

The Schools Catalogue Information Service (SCIS) has provided catalogue records to school libraries since 1977. Currently, 77% of Australian schools, 42% of New Zealand schools and a growing number of schools in the United Kingdom subscribe to our database.

Why use SCIS?

Manually cataloguing resources can be laborious and deprive you of valuable teaching time. Cataloguing library resources is made easy with SCIS Data. We supply your library with access to over 1.6 million ready-made catalogue records that you can easily import into your library management system via download, an API connection or our Z39.50 protocol. Your MySCIS account makes it easy to enhance and develop your library collection. The search homepage provides a list of recently catalogued resources, helping you keep up to date with useful new books, websites, apps and ebooks that can be added to your library.
