Improve Your School's Library with GoFormz
Modernize your library with digital forms
School libraries play an important role in overall student education. According to the American Library Association, more than 60 studies have proven that school library programs make a positive impact on students. And students who don’t speak English at home are among those who benefit the most from school libraries!
In this modern age, it’s not surprising that schools are bettering their programs with digital tools. Digital forms are helping schools of all levels replace traditional pen-and-paper while providing more insights than ever before. School libraries can be empowered with instant and up-to-date information, like book checkouts, parent contact forms, computer lab schedules, and much more!
With GoFormz, your digital forms can look exactly like your existing paper forms–no code required! Your library can also use pre-built templates, like a sign in template sheet for visiting the library, or customize a new template for any specific need. Digital forms can be filled out from any desktop, tablet, or mobile phone! Learn how digital forms can support your school library at any level.
Elementary School
Between learning to read, do math, and making friends, young kids have a lot on their minds. So relying on them to complete and bring back important forms can be a long waiting game. Papers are often lost, left at home, or completed incorrectly. Thankfully, digital forms free your students from more papers in their take-home folders.
Digital forms that elementary libraries can benefit from include:
Parent contact forms - instantly send and receive important parent information
Check-out forms - see who borrowed what and when
Volunteer reader forms - see who is volunteering to read to students and when
The GoFormz digital forms platform is easy to learn (and even easy enough for the students!) and requires no coding knowledge. Forms are completely customizable to your library needs and can be filled out from anywhere, anytime.

Middle and High School
With more resources come more to keep track of, and secondary education libraries face more challenges due to their scale. Keeping track of computer labs and digital resources takes more logistics and time. With GoFormz, you can keep track of your users, staffing, books, clubs, and more!
Digital forms that can help middle and high school libraries:
Collaboration forms - quickly send and receive forms from teachers interested in working together on a unit or activity
Staff feedback surveys - gather feedback from teachers and determine what library services staff members are interested in
Student reading interest surveys - gather feedback from students and what books they are interested in reading
GoFormz helps librarians seamlessly share online forms with students and teachers on any device. Unlike paper forms that have to be turned in, librarians can monitor submissions and completed forms in real-time. Use the signature form field to keep track of check-out agreements for all your hardware rentals too, such as DVDs, tablets, or laptops.
University & College
Now for the big scale. From the local community colleges to large universities, GoFormz has the ability to scale to meet your educational institution’s needs. Digital forms can be completed in-person or remotely, making it easy for students and professors to send in information.
Higher education digital forms can include:
Library sign-in forms - easily keep track of students who come to the library
Check-out forms - see who rented what and when
Required reading forms - gather syllabus reading requirements from professors and make sure there’s enough material for all students
GoFormz also provides access levels for users, which allows for many classes of users, each with permission to view only what they should. GoFormz is also fully customizable, allowing for a high degree of flexibility to combat any issue at scale.
