Experiences That Enable Discovery
Bring the joy of browsing your physical shelves to your mobile app and make it easy for the patrons to find what they care about. A content-forward and welcoming home screen highlights new titles, staff lists, and events. Users can also view available titles from their 'For Later Shelf,' learn what books your library has on order, and browse your locations with real-time distance information.
Searching That Inspires
Consistently deliver relevant and accurate search results with BiblioApps' automated search suggestions and best-in-class search relevancy. Sophisticated facets and a FRBRised grouped results display make it easier for users to find what they're looking for. Location-contextualized availability and multiple filtering options enhance the experience. Plus, patrons can quickly locate and save books and movies in your collections by scanning an item's barcode.
Self-Checkout Capabilities
Provide patrons with a fast and convenient way to check out library resources using their devices. Both barcode checkout and RFID checkout are available with BiblioApps. From discovering new titles, placing holds, and checking out collections on their own, patrons have a convenient contactless way to borrow when visiting your locations.
A User Interface That Patrons Expect
User-friendly navigation, clean design, and a modern interface that keeps up with the latest tech landscape trends mean that patrons can intuitively operate the app without having to learn how to use it. With an account summary front and center, users can easily access their library card, see library notices, and stay up to date on their borrowing—and do it all with the same account they use to access the online catalog.
An Accessible App Everyone Can Use and Love
ADA compliance in native apps is critical. BiblioApps is significantly more accessible than all the other available library apps. With advanced screen reader capabilities, contrast and color compliance, dynamic type resizing, and intuitive navigation, your library can provide an accessible and inclusive library on the go to all audiences, regardless of their abilities.
A Way to Connect with the Library Community
Give patrons the ability to engage with their community easily and on the go. BiblioApps users can see, rate, and write reviews directly from their phones. There is no need to log into a computer to add comments to the catalog, which makes engaging with your library effortless, more fun, similar to the online catalog experience, and consistent with other mobile app interactions that users are familiar with.
