Academy library catalogue online

Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy is strongly committed to improving literacy and knows the importance of reading for pleasure.  There is good evidence to suggest that young people who read for pleasure daily perform better in reading tests than those who never do.  We want to encourage our students to enjoy reading and to read a wide range of good quality literature. 

I am delighted to inform you that the Academy has recently made a significant investment in our library with the introduction of a new online version of our library catalogue.  The new system allows pupils, staff and parents to view our Academy library catalogue online and pupils are encouraged to use this to help with research, to write reviews about books they have read and search for new books and other library resources.

You can access the system via the Academy website or directly using the following link https://u012617.microlibrarian.net/ 

If you have access to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you can also download a new App called ‘iMLS’ to access the library from those devices.  The app is now available free from the App Store. You can use the following link to access the App store: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/micro-librarian-systems/id467614868

Having the library accessible in this way and having parents engaged with reading will help to support our commitment to improving literacy standards.  Below are a couple of documents for you to download to help you install and use the App.

We hope you find the new facility useful and welcome any feedback.
