Kids OPAC makes it fun for young readers to search a library's collection! Children can choose from four themes by toggling among them.

 

 

Overview

The new Kidís catalog has four different choices of backgrounds, the happy birds, the sneaky ninjas, a lovely princess and her castle, and all kinds of friendly and scary fish.

 

How to use it

Mandarin Oasis works with your existing Oasis or WebOPAC and includes the features you are already familiar with, in a format that will attract young library users and make their searches fun.

 

As in the regular OPAC, they can search by Lexile or Fontas and Pinnell range to find materials just right for them to read.

 

 

The results list shows title, author and call number. Children can also see whether the items are available or not from the large green or red dot. They can create a bookbag of their favorite items. And they can look at more information about each item.

 

This details view includes the usual hyperlinks, so they can follow the authors or subjects and see what else they find.

 

Again, this is connected to your usual OPAC, and clicking on Home brings you right there.

 

Offer your patrons one more way to interact with your collection and find the materials they need.
