BookMyne uses the iPhone’s GPS capabilities and the Google Maps API to identify participating libraries nearby. Users can identify the libraries they use frequently, and can search for other participating libraries from a global view.
Libraries can become discoverable through BookMyne by installing SirsiDynix Symphony Web Services, which gives libraries unprecedented access to their Symphony data. Symphony Web Services 2.0 is available at no cost to institutions using Symphony version 3.3 or later.
According to the App Store Page, BookMyne Users Will Be Able to:
+ Search the Library Catalog
+ Place and Cancel Holds
+ Check Account Details
+ Navigate to the Library's Home Page
We've just downloaded BookMyne and will spend some time using it during the next few days. More to say soon.
