Gale Unveils iPhone App for School Libraries
In December 2009, Gale launched its first iPhone application, helping iPhone users find their local public library. The new K-12 version allows students to find their local school library – (grade schools, middle schools and high schools) and access the vast array of Gale resources the school library and Indiana State Library has purchased on their behalf. Students can use the application to locate their school and then will be required to authenticate for the school year, using a password provided by the school. The original AccessMyLibrary app uses your global position to locate public libraries within a 10-mile radius, providing access to all Gale resources subscribed by that library. The feature enables libraries to partner with Gale to generate library awareness, primarily among users not typically aware of libraries. It can also drive usage to your electronic resources, foot traffic to libraries, and demonstrate your commitment to provide innovative technology and content to patrons. You can download the FREE AccessMyLibrary apps at the iTunes store. There is no authentication required to access the resources. -------------------------------- Follow the Indiana State Library on: |
