This feature naturally supports the teaching of writing skills. Reviews are submitted to the library staff for approval. Approved reviews become an integrated part of the book s record in the catalog. When a record is accessed, available reviews are displayed with the standard bibliographic and availability information. Our customers tell us their students enjoy reading what other students have written about books in their collections.
Students can even get a list of books their friends have reviewed by searching on reviewer names.
Seeing a friend s name on a review could persuade a student to get writing, too. Of course, teachers and administrators can submit reviews, too. If your library catalogs professional development holdings, the educational professionals in your school can share their opinions using the review feature. Students may also delight in discovering the books their teachers have enjoyed. Surpass has provided comprehensive, affordable automation solutions for library media centers for over 15 years.
