Scout is a fast and intuitivesmart search tool designed with kids in mind. Younger patrons love Scout's streamlined layout and intuitive display, because they're able to find what they're looking for without being confused or distracted by more advanced functions. Scout even filters out mediums that are irrelevant to the K-4 crowd, such as equipment, websites, dioramas, regalia, etc.

Students, teachers, and librarians alike will appreciate how uncomplicated Scout is to use. There isn't even a search button! Just enter a word or phrase into the search field, and Scout will start looking.

Highlights

Scout is a fun, interactive search interface that gets the job done.

  • Log in to place an item on hold.
  • Search for a word or phrase, and Scout will return the most relevant results.
  • Scroll through your results, or click  to load more.
  • Shrink or Grow your items for optimal viewing.
  • View an item's details by clicking on the book cover.


Mobile and Desktop Friendly

Tip

Open Scout on a patron-facing tablet or computer to allow kids to search on their own! If they can type, they can search.
