Somers Point, August 1, 2023] – CLCD (Children's Literature Comprehensive Database), a trusted resource for collection development and reader's advisory, is excited to introduce Class-Shelf Plus. This innovative solution aims to streamline the management of classroom collections while providing easy access to approved titles for the community.

Class-Shelf Plus addresses the increasing challenges faced by school districts in managing classroom library collections amidst growing interest and legislation affecting book challenges. Recognizing the need for an efficient solution, CLCD has developed Class-Shelf Plus to alleviate the burden on teachers, media specialists/librarians, and administrators by automating the integration and accessibility of classroom collections.

Featuring the largest aggregation of over 600,000 professional reviews, an extensive collection of awards, and over 3.6 million data points for 1.2 million fiction and non-fiction titles, CLCD has been an indispensable tool for collection development and book challenges for over 24 years. With Class-Shelf Plus, CLCD offers a unique solution to address this critical need.

Class-Shelf Plus simplifies the interaction between administrators, principals, media specialists, teachers, and librarians by providing an intuitive workflow system. It enables easy communication, recording, and approval of each book added to the collection. Teachers can simply enter the ISBN into their preferred device, and Class-Shelf Plus utilizes the CLCD Universe of Children's Book Database to identify and gather essential data such as reviews and award counts.

With real-time dashboards at each level, Class-Shelf Plus allows for secure and efficient management, review, and approval or rejection of classroom collections. Once titles are approved, teachers can open their class collections to students and the community, fostering greater access to valuable resources.

"We understand the importance of community involvement and the challenges faced by school districts," said Dr. Ajay Gupte, President at CLCD. "With Class-Shelf Plus, we aim to simplify the process while ensuring easy access to approved classroom collections, providing a comprehensive solution for all stakeholders."
