Dear AR,
We would like to know about matching the collection to the AR software. We would also like to view the master list of what is on the AR list, as we are discovering that not all books in the collection have been identified. We could also then identify books that are on the list that we could purchase to support the AR program.
Thank you,
Anne Plowman
Teacher Librarian / Coordinator of Library and Information Services
Anne,
I have emailed you direct with information.
Basically you can use AR Bookguide to match the materials in your library to the quizzes that are availalbe in Australia. Within this system you can search the AR Quizzes by including your library catalogue data. This will allow you to see quizzes for which you don’t own the book and thus potentially buy the book. These searches can be performed by ATOS Book Level, student interest level, author or series.
Cheers
David
