After more than 2 years of development and experimentation, Biblius will be deployed in all Qu\u00e9bec school service centers (SSC) and school boards (SB) as of September 29, 2021.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

New for 2021-2022: the shared collection <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

For the 2021-2022 school year, the minist\u00e8re de l’\u00c9ducation du Qu\u00e9bec (MEQ) offers a shared collection of e-books, accessible at all times via Biblius, to all students and members of school staff in the public network. For more information: see here.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With regard to local orientations and resources, each SSC and SB may, if<\/span> he or she so wishes, develop their own local collection in complementarity with the shared collection. Note that local purchases can begin as soon as the platform is accessible, but some features, such as setting aside full licenses for a teacher and alerts in the administrator interface, will not be available until later this fall. In this sense, training<\/a><\/span> on local purchases will not start before November. Those who make purchases by then will of course have access to the new licenses<\/span>, but the functionality in the platform will be the same as in spring 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

This model, integrating local collections and a shared collection, represents an innovative starting point for the deployment of digital book lending in school libraries.<\/span><\/p>\n

New for 2021-2022: filter linked to students’ grade level<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Thanks to a filter that detects the grade level of students at the time of connection, elementary school students do not have access to e-books whose target audience is equal to or greater than 12 years old. For more information, you can watch this short video<\/a><\/span> (in French only).<\/p>\n

Access and login <\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Access to the platform is functional as soon as the information technology (IT) department of each SB or SSC has completed the 2 short steps required to connect Biblius to the school portal.<\/p>\n
