Library software for secondary school libraries

Now is the time to improve how you manage your school library

As children progress through secondary school, it’s vital that they’re able to access the resources they need quickly and efficiently. The pressure is on for school librarians to catalogue, organise and audit their collections effectively. For new librarians in particular, it can be a daunting task. That’s where our products Simple Little Library System and KnowAll Matrix come in.

Both our products, Simple Little Library System and KnowAll Matrix are highly accessible for non-librarians. We’ll support you every step of the way. Students and staff will find it easy to use, and you’ll be able to keep track of every individual item in your collection.

We have a range of package deals developed especially for schools. All of them include the user-friendly OPAC for students and staff to browse and find what they need. You’re also given our AutoCat tools that streamline cataloguing by downloading bibliographic data from reliable online sources.

There’s borrowing functionality that includes reservations and automated email alerts for borrowers and library staff alike. We’ve developed comprehensive reports to monitor and audit your library and borrowers’ habits. Finally, powerful user management and customisation tools let you keep everything up-to-date and functioning exactly as you like.

Three good reasons to choose our school library software

Under resourced?

We save your time with automated cataloguing from education sources



You can use AutoCat to download bibliographic details like title, author, edition and publisher for books straight into your catalogue. Our sources include Accelerated Reader, Google Books, ISBN DB and JISC Library Hub Discover.



AutoCat automatically creates one copy located in your usual library space. It also adds the front book cover image so Students can recognise your resources readily. Think of the time you can save!

Budgets under pressure?

We know that budgets are always under pressure, so we provide affordable school library software that doesn’t compromise on quality


Buy only what you need. We don’t tie you into lengthy contracts: pay monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually. After the first 12 months you can give one’month’s notice before the end of your next payment term.

Slow and Difficult System

If your current system is slow and difficult to use, you’ll love the fast and easy cataloguing using our AutoCat. Whether you’re a professional librarian or not, you’ll enjoy downloading bibliographic details and the cover image straight into your catalogue.

You can run off pre-configured reports and statistics easily and quickly.
