Bibliographic information provider Bowker has announced that the ITT Dublin (Institute of Technology Tallaght) has chosen Library Anywhere by LibraryThing for Libraries to provide a mobile catalogue within their Innovative Millennium library catalogue. ITT Dublin is reportedly the first library in the UK and Ireland to have successfully implemented this service.
Library Anywhere provides both mobile web (which works on any phone with a web browser), and native apps for iPhone, iTouch, and iPad, as well as Android and Blackberry. With a fully customisable home page, libraries can add a logo, or add links to a blog or Facebook page as well as create pages with their own content. These can include book lists, announcements, and add links to their existing 'ask a librarian' features. Existing LibraryThing for Libraries customers can benefit from integrated tags, access to over 500,000 reviews, recommendations related to each item and notes about other editions.
The ITT Dublin is home to about 5,000 registered library users on a campus in South County Dublin. They offer higher education programmes which reflect current and emerging knowledge and practices relevant to the individual and their region up to post doctoral level.
