Insignia
St. Clement
School Library has implemented the Insignia Integrated Library System (ILS). All TCDSB school libraries are sharing a common,
centralized union catalogue through
which library staff can leverage work done by others to clone catalogue records
from other TCDSB schools.
The Insignia ILS is a full-featured library system. It is a web-based
application with an easy point-and-click navigation and consistent, intuitive
interface. While the entire system can be explored with just a few mouse
clicks, behind the simple interface lies a powerful database engine capable of
maintaining millions of records. The Insignia System is now
available for parents and students to view online at home:
Use Insignia Library software
program to locate books.
