Library Software
Built for Teacher-Librarians
SmartSuite is designed around how teacher-librarians actually work — whether you manage the library solo, lead a team, or split your time between the library and the classroom. It automates the routine so you can focus on the work only you can do.
SmartSuite handles the routine. You handle everything else.
Overdue notices go out automatically — formatted with cover images and sent to homeroom teachers so students can be called out at rollcall. You don't chase a single book.
The Virtual Librarian gives tech-savvy students a self-serve recommendation engine — personalised picks drawn from their loans, watches, and peer network. That means more of your time and energy goes to the students who actually need you in front of them.
The exclusive SCIS Request feature means new titles are requested and catalogued in moments, not hours. And ACARA-Sync automatically applies curriculum codes to every book you catalogue — enriching your collection with the terms teachers actually search for.
These are just some of the ways SmartSuite takes the mundane away from you, so you can focus on what matters most: students and education.
Built for every way a teacher-librarian works
From large multi-campus teams to lone librarians managing everything single-handedly.
For the lone librarian
If you manage the library by yourself, SmartSuite is designed with you in mind. ACARA-Sync catalogues curriculum links automatically. SCIS fills in Dewey and subject headings. Overdue notices pause during holidays. Reports generate in one click. The system does the routine — you do the professional work.
For curriculum collaboration
ACARA-Sync maps every book to the Australian Curriculum — by learning area, strand, and year level. When a teacher comes looking for Year 4 HASS resources, you can show them instantly. SmartSuite makes the teacher-librarian an indispensable curriculum partner.
For professional development
Every FSI training session earns a PD certificate, automatically. Unlimited sessions, unlimited staff. Webinars, modules, and live training — all included. No extra fees.
For reporting to leadership
100's of built-in reports — loans, overdues, curriculum coverage, top titles, collection health. Export to PDF or Excel in one click. Show leadership the library's value in minutes.
Run book quizzes. Award badges. Make reading competitive.
SmartSuite includes a built-in reading quiz and gamification tool — so you can drive genuine engagement with your collection without needing a separate platform or extra budget.
Build book quizzes in minutes
Create multiple choice, true/false, and short-answer comprehension quizzes on any book in your library. Students complete them on their own device. Results auto-mark instantly — nothing to chase, nothing to collate.
Gamify your collection
Run reading competitions, class leaderboards, and term-based challenges to drive genuine engagement with your collection — no separate platform, no extra budget required.
See exactly who's engaging
Live engagement monitoring shows you who's completing quizzes in real time and who isn't. Export a full printable report for reading groups, class teachers, or parent–teacher evenings.
Already in your library system — no extra tools needed.
The quiz and gamification tools are built directly into SmartSuite. Students use their existing library login — no app to install, no separate platform to manage, and no additional cost.
You're not alone — and we want to make sure you never feel like it.
Being a teacher-librarian can sometimes feel like a solo act. SmartSuite includes a dedicated community forum built right into the app — so you can chat, ask questions, and share ideas with other librarians from across Australia, New Zealand, and the globe.
