Library technology solutions provider SirsiDynix, US, has announced that BookMyne, a comprehensive iPhone application, now supports library catalogues in Spanish, French and German. The application, which allows users to search library catalogues and place holds on materials, claims to be the first industry-wide application available for Spanish, French and German language libraries.
Through BookMyne, library users can find participating libraries around the world, search library catalogues, place holds, and renew materials they have checked out. Libraries can customise their presence on the global directory in a number of ways. BookMyne 1.2 includes expanded language support, as well as options for users to be reminded of material due dates.
More than 300 libraries now offer their catalogue on the BookMyne directory, with more libraries joining daily. The application is made possible through Symphony Web Services, which libraries can download through the SirsiDynix Customer Care Portal. Library users can download the BookMyne application through the Apple Store at no cost.
Over 600 libraries in Canada, Latin America, Spain, France and Germany use SirsiDynix technology to connect users with their catalogues in Spanish, French and German languages. The company expects to offer the application to Horizon users later this year with the release of Web Services for Horizon.
