Collections

A collection can include different kinds of resources: physical books, eBooks, audio books, films or anything else that is searchable in WeLib.

The person who creates a list chooses whether to make it private or public (searchable to others). Public lists can be searched using filters and users can follow these lists. Private lists can be shared with selected people, classes or groups

A list made by a student or a librarian can be published at the school.
