Free SmartPhone App for Horizon

SirsiDynix release BookMyne SmartPhone app for Horizon LMS

As libraries evolve to meet the needs of their information-overloaded user base, the SirsiDynix development team actively expands its offerings for on-the-go library users. Among this development is the industry-leading SirsiDynix BookMyne™ iPhone application, bringing convenient, social-savvy library functionality into your users’ everyday activities.

In addition to providing mobile access to in-demand library information, holdings and services, BookMyne 2.1 offers a myriad of patron-pleasing features including:

• Barcode scanning capability, so library users can scan the barcode of a book at a bookstore or friend’s home and retrieve availability information on the book at the patron’s library of choice;
• Social recommendation engine powered via Goodreads, enabling iPhone or iPod Touch users to search library holding for friend-recommended reads;
• New York Times best seller list cross-referencing, enabling users to immediately cross-check the best seller list with library holdings and place holds remotely;
• Enhanced account interaction, including the ability for library users to view fines and fees on their Apple mobile device.
• With the installation of SirsiDynix Web Services at any library running SirsiDynix Symphony 3.3, Horizon 7.5 or higher, library users gain the full perks of the BookMyne application. The BookMyne application can be downloaded from the Apple App Store for free. For non-iPhone users, all SirsiDynix library technology is supported on Android, Blackberry and other smartphone browsers for mobile-friendly access.
