A colleague of mine (who also happens to be something of a tech nerd AND a great guy) sent me a link to
this product - Boopsie - today. It's an app for libraries and library users that does a whole bunch of cool things in all-in-one fashion. Feature description from their site:
- BookLook - Scan the barcode of that new best seller at the
bookstore and instantly know whether your library has the book
available.
-
Publisher Reviews - Integration with book review providers such as Syndetics, Goodreads etc.
- Overdrive Access - search, view, download and read Overdrive titles right from mobile device.
-
BookCheck - Mobile checkout from the palm of your hand! Simply scan, click (check) and go!
They seem to have a reasonable subscription rate for us here in Small Town America! We've talked about having a mobile app developed for us locally, but why reinvent the wheel? These folks seem to have thought about how it might be used by patrons, so we'll give it a serious look to see how it would integrate with our systems and network.
