SmartSuite Discovery: Your Library's Netflix Moment
Every school library has a catalogue. Very few have a discovery experience. SmartSuite's Discovery Page is designed to change that.
What is SmartSearch Discovery?
SmartSearch Discovery is a student-facing portal that transforms your library catalogue into something students actually want to browse. Think Netflix — but for books, educational videos, and library databases.
Students see:
- Featured collections curated by the teacher librarian
- Recently added titles
- Trending books in the school
- TV4Education videos, integrated alongside books
- Linked databases and eResources
And a search bar at the top that searches across everything.
Why it matters
The traditional library OPAC (online catalogue) was designed for librarians. It's functional. It's not beautiful. Students don't browse it for fun.
SmartSearch Discovery was designed for students. It's browsable, visual, and fast. When students open it, they find things they want to read — books they didn't know the library had, videos on topics they're studying, series they can continue.
