I was very excited to read this article on the weekend MacManus:A Digital Future for Libraries and reflect on the last couple of years in the ISC. Our library is gradually incorporating more digital platforms, while retaining our core value of providing quality literature for our students.

Turanga Library, Christchurch, NZ

Recently the ISC has had the use of a 3D printer and ISC team members have been learning and teaching the associated 3D software to scan, print and manipulate people and objects. An Otto robotics club has also begun. "Otto" is a  3D printed robot, students can design various fun add-ons, build the robotics component of Otto and then learn how to program him/her!

Teacher-Librarians have been working with year 7 history teachers to implement Adobe Photoshop and year 7 science teachers to implement Adobe Illustrator for posters. Year 8 history teachers also implemented scatter charts with excel spreadsheets. The ISC also has a number of greenscreens for students to use for their presentations. Our first VR headset has also created excitement.

The ISC also has the ebook platform Wheelers, as well as the audio book platform Borrowbox. Borrowbox is proving very popular with students and staff.
