OPAC The Computerized Catalogue has replaced the old Card Drawer System in libraries that have been computerized. It lets you browse items by author, title, subject, class or ISBN number and a Keyword search is included as well. Another major advantage of this service is that one can browse items not only pertaining to the library from where he/she is making the search but is automatically browsing all the material that is present in all the Public Libraries (and the National Library) both in Malta and Gozo. Clients are also informed of whether the item in question is available or is currently on loan, for example.

Other games, however, have been mostly forgotten, such as one game involving balancing an orange on a spoon while trying to knock your opponent's own orange off.

"If you can type, you can make a movie," is their slogan. Teachers can create lesson presentations in a new way and students can present their own stories, scripts, and research in a unique setting. You choose from different pre-drawn actors and backgrounds, and can also set different emotions of the characters throughout the movie. Then, just type in what you want each character to say. There are a couple of downsides: 1) It costs to create an education account; 2) The characters speak with computerized voices which do not sound normal at all. This is different from most online movie creators which are more a mash-up of pictures and sound clips and may be an interesting alternative. From Inspiring Teachers by pebble Oct 25
