The Metis Reading Rooms are devoted to the curation and review of books and resources in a school’s physical and digital libraries. The area allows staff and pupils to highlight and share interesting resources.
Many of the larger publishers are creating vast platforms making it harder for students and teachers to see the variety or depth of the digital resources included in the subscription. The Reading Rooms allows a librarian or administrator to create displays devoted to learning about the school’s digital resources.
The Reading Rooms allows students to maintain reading diaries/records and upload reviews and recommendations. Schools that have Sora OverDrive can link their collections and some online library catalogues via an API to the Reading Rooms. Through the use of APIs it becomes possible to use the Reading Rooms as an exciting interchange for a schools information and knowledge resources.
