ACARA-Sync
Automatic Curriculum Mapping
for every book in your library
Every resource automatically linked to the Australian Curriculum v9 — by learning area, strand, and year level. No manual tagging, no extra modules.
Your entire library collection, automatically mapped to the Australian Curriculum.
ACARA-Sync is an exclusive SmartSuite Library feature that automatically links every resource in your school library to the Australian Curriculum (ACARA). The moment a book is catalogued, SmartSuite Library assigns the relevant learning areas, strands, sub-strands, and year levels - without any input from the librarian.
Teachers can then search the library by curriculum outcome or code. Students can discover what's available for their area of study. And librarians can see - at a glance - which parts of the curriculum are well-resourced and where the collection has gaps.
