Schools Catalogue Information Service (SCIS)
The Schools Catalogue Information Service (SCIS) is the national information retrieval and cataloguing service for schools in Australia and New Zealand and international schools. SCIS is owned by the nation's education authorities and managed by the Curriculum Corporation. The NSW statewide subscription to SCISWeb has given teacher-librarians in NSW government schools the opportunity to use quality records to build their library catalogues.
| The introduction of ISBN 13 has involved some changes to the SCIS processes. NSW government schools are advised to accept the default SCISWEB profile. More information. |
The members of the NSW SCIS Agency in the Curriculum K-12 Directorate at Ryde catalogue resources on to the SCIS database. If you find resources that are not on SCIS and you want them catalogued for your school you can send the resources to the NSW Agency at this address.
For advice or support on SCIS email Anne Dowling or telephone (02) 98867587.
The FAQs section of this site has answers to questions on SCIS and OASIS.
The Professional learning section has information on:

- using the SCIS OPAC
- the flowchart on downloading records from SCIS to OASIS Library (intranet only)
The Dewey numbers that SCIS uses for classifying literature are listed in Classification of literature
