What’s going on in your local area that you think should be on ALISS? First, we’re going to add the things we know about to ALISS’s ‘big list’!

Using your ideas, do some quick ALISS searches to find a local asset that’s NOT already on ALISS.

For the community asset that you have chosen, what information would other people need to know about it?

ALISS works by ‘pointing’ users to websites which holds full details. Does the local asset that you have chosen have a website? Don’t worry if not! By adding it to ALISS, you can make it findable online.

Use the ‘Adding to ALISS’ guide. Add your resource.

How many points does your resource get? Mark it using the mark scheme. If you don’t get full marks, edit your resource to make it more findable.

If you’re wondering how ALISS decided on the points system, you might find it helpful to research how search engines work. Tags and an exact location help to make your resource ‘findable’ and relevant for people who are searching. Photo Credit: Flash Drive, Todd Binger, CC BY-SA 2.0Todd BingerCC BY-SA 2.0

Think about the following questions and share your ideas: Why would it be good for an organisation to be listed as a resource on ALISS? In an ideal world, who do you think should ‘own’ the resource on ALISS and make sure it’s kept up to date? How could you help organisations find out about ALISS and add themselves as resources?

Take action! Spread the word about ALISS. You could: Design a poster, leaflet or campaign to let organisations that help people in your area know about ALISS. Use the materials on the ALISS website to help you. If it’s practical, visit a local organisation and make a pitch about ALISS – or help them to add resources using your digital skills.
