TLC Debuts Library Software for Kids

The Library Corporation (TLC) has developed LS2 Kids––the children’s version of TLC’s LS2 PAC. LS2 Kids was developed with input fromlibrarians as well as children ages five to eleven.LS2 Kids is simple, intuitive, and playful. It features Scout, the curious young pup who greets users and guides them as they search for items of interest in the library. Kids can click on an icon in the category wheel that encircles Scout or they can type a book name or subject in the search box. If a word is typed incorrectly, LS2 Kids will offer spelling suggestions and corrections.When children search for subjects, names, or book titles, LS2 Kids takes them to an interactive screen that displays a cover flow of corresponding book jackets that fill the screen and indicate whether a title is available. Clicking on any book jacket spins that title around to reveal detailed information about the publication.
