We are particularly keen to obtain photographs and school crests of those schools now closed or demolished. There are also links to it from the Libraries website . In addition to a catalogue of all items in stock in the borough libraries, there is a searchable database of local community information and a calendar of local events. Please contact any Barking and Dagenham library if you would like to add a local event or organisation. Local schools, colleges and residents, and Internet users worldwide, can now access WebPAC for bibliographic and local community information.
Customers can also check their details online using a PIN for added security.
It also offers users cross-index searching and flexible sorting and limiting. Internet links can be built into catalogue records, so that in addition to the usual details there can be links to related and supporting Internet sites. Local societies, organisations, schools and other institutions can have their details and forthcoming events added free of charge to the online databases.
