If you choose this option you will receive:
One day 'hands-on' on-site visit
This has got be to the best value option if your on a budget. We will spend a whole day with you setting up and training you to use the system and enter book details.
We will install the Abracadabra software, carry out a training session and then spend the rest of the day scanning in as many books as we can.
You can nominate one or more staff (or parent helpers) to sit with us and gain invaluable experience watching and getting real 'hands-on' experience using the software and entering in books details.
We would hope to enter between 500 and 1000 books (this could be 25-50% of your library stock) to get you on your way. Then having watched and taken part in the data take-on exercise you can then continue the process yourself.

Depending on location we may have to charge out-of-pocket expenses to cover travel and in some cases accommodation expenses.
We are based in the North West and schools furthest away from here may be charged up to the higher band charge of ￡999.
