Over the next few weeks and months of uncertainty, the Great School Libraries campaign group wanted to do something useful. With schools closing and many now find themselves at home supporting their children's learning. We wanted to offer a place to ask a question if you are a parent looking for resources, a school librarian trying to support your local school community or a teacher we want to be here for you.
​
Our team are happy to share their expertise and will try to answer as many questions as we can to help point you in the right direction. If you post a question below we will answer as soon as we can. Please create a title that will help others understand the information you need. Thank you

Thanks Nina - we use Eclipse, but it hasn't been launched to the kids yet - we went into lockdown before we could get it up and running, so we can't use their ebook facility. I'll keep looking! Thanks again
I don't know what LMS system you use but ACCESSIT integrates with both Accelerated Reader and wheelers ebooks platform. Maybe that would be a way around it if the students accessed the ebooks platform via your catalogue but you'd need to enquire further.
We did investigate Sora, but for ease of launch we weren't convinced it was the best. We have also looked at myOn but it doesn't have any of the big author names which we know our kids will want to read. I'll check back in a few days and see if any more suggestions are posted, thanks again.
Sorry I can't be more help. Did you look at Sora? I know they link with AR but it might be too expensive..? You might find that someone else answers this so please check back in a few days.
Thank you. I've investigated these ones and had ruled them out - Wheelers looks to be the easiest to navigate and was my preference, but it doesn't have enough AR content. I'll keep looking, thanks again.
You might find the answer to this in the question posted below as a starting point. I know that some of them link to Accelerated Reader books but maybe it is something you can ask them when you ask for a trial. https://www.greatschoollibraries.org.uk/askalibrarian/ask-a-librarian/hello-i-am-looking-for-recommendations-for-ebook-platforms-we-are-a-small-international-primary-school-teaching-in-english
