If you’ve ever used our Library Anywhere app on your mobile phone to search the library catalogue, renew items, place holds etc, you’ll know how useful it is to be able to do all of this and more on the go.
(If you haven’t,take a look at our previous post on this).
Well the clever folks who bring us this technology have added another useful feature.
You can now scan the ISBN barcode on a book that you find in a book shop, at a friend’s place or anywhere for that matter and Library Anywhere will check to see if our library has a copy. If we do, you can see its status and perhaps put a hold on it. If not you can search other Library Anywhere libraries nearby or online bookstores.
Check out the video to see how it works.
