It’s been five months since SCIS was last in NZ, and we’re getting ready to come back.
We’re hosting professional learning workshops in Auckland (15 March), Wellington (18 March) and Christchurch (21 March). These workshops – hosted by SCIS Manager Ben Chadwick and Director of Metadata and Library Services Rachel Elliott – are suitable for SCIS subscribers and non-subscribers, and are a great way to learn how to make the most of SCIS while catching up with other school library staff.

You can browse through the SCIS catalogue, download records in SCISWeb, and check out how we can assist with your resource management and collection development.
