The gold standard in children’s literature research, instruction, and collection development.
CLCD:Enterprise is our most comprehensive and advanced solution, built for academic institutions, public libraries, and educational professionals who require depth, precision, and trust in their children's and YA literature tools. It combines the industry’s largest independent PreK–12 title database with unmatched search power and professionally curated content.
Enterprise includes a robust Advanced Search with over 50 targeted filters, giving librarians, faculty, and researchers precise control over discovery. Search by keywords, author, publisher, subject, genre, award status, country of origin, reading level, publication date, and more. For expert users, the system enables complex multi-field queries—ideal for curriculum design, comparative literature analysis, and metadata research.
Enterprise also includes a Topic Search and MyCLCD accounts with saved searches and list-building functionality.
Our Award Search feature is unique in the field. Users can explore over 1,275 national and international awards, filtering by partial name, sponsor, state, country, and more. See winners and nominees across all years, with award descriptions, logos, and comprehensive title details—making it an invaluable tool for identifying high-quality, recognized works.
This feature is particularly powerful for:
- Curriculum creation in higher ed
- Collection development in school and public libraries
- Highlighting culturally or regionally significant titles
- Locating historically relevant award-winning books
Enterprise is widely adopted in Education, Literature, and Library and Information Science programs across universities. It is used to support:
- Children’s and YA literature instruction
- Student-led text set creation
- Reading level analysis and program alignment
- Research on diversity, publishing trends, and historical shifts
Faculty use it to teach research methods, build model reading lists, and train future librarians to evaluate content critically and independently—without relying on sales-focused vendor data.
For public libraries, Enterprise offers a defensible, transparent resource for collection audits, book challenge responses, and policy development. Its professional reviews, age-appropriateness indicators, and award records help inform decisions with authoritative support.
Combined with Local Collection Management, OPAC linking, and detailed metadata, Enterprise equips public librarians with tools to maintain, justify, and evolve their collections confidently.
