Gale, part of Cengage Learning, has announced the College and School editions of the AccessMyLibrary Android applications. The new apps join the AccessMyLibrary School Edition application for the iPad that became available in early January. These latest additions complete Gale's extensive line-up of AccessMyLibrary (AML) applications, which make Gale library resources accessible on the go from all major mobile devices.
As with previously announced apps, AML College and School Edition ask students to locate their school and then authenticate for the year. Both editions require a one-time password. College students can enter their school-issued email address to have the password sent to them, while students in grade, middle and high schools will have the password provided by their institution. Rather than sifting through internet sites, students can now access credible library reference sources in seconds with AML apps.
In addition, Quick Response (QR) codes are also available for the new AML apps, as well as those previously announced. After downloading a QR code-scanning app, mobile phone users can scan the AML QR code with their barcode reader to be automatically taken to the Gale apps website.
In December 2009, Gale launched its first AML application for the iPhone. Now the current selection of AML apps includes AccessMyLibrary Public Edition for all iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iTouch) and Android devices; AccessMyLibrary School Edition for all iOS and Android devices; and AccessMyLibrary College Edition for all iOS and Android devices. AML apps for iOS devices can be downloaded from the iTunes store, and apps for Android devices can be downloaded from the Android Marketplace.
