Library Find it Index

The flexible, user-friendly guide to subjects and their classification numbers. Instantly adapt to suit your library.

• Print as many copies as you like.
• Excel document - editable and printable - in alphabetical order
• A listing in numeric order too
• A stylish personalised cover
• For 11-18 age use

Every library uses slightly different versions of the classification numbers - the beauty of this Index is that you can adapt it for your library.
When the editor first created this list she found the impact on students was both positive and immediate. They found it quick and easy to use.

"Fantastic. Love the cover, so interesting and vibrant. The beauty is you can print off multiple copies. Saves kids the long windedness of logging on, going to the intranet, waiting for the keyword search to feed back." Nikki Heath, School Librarian of the Year 2008, Werneth School

The index will be emailed to you.
