Boopsie Through Metro – in case you didn’t catch this

  • NY3Rs Association Helps Member Libraries Go Mobile with Boopsie
    The NY 3Rs Association, Inc. has negotiated a deal with Boopsie for Libraries to offer a discount for member libraries.  Boopsie for Libraries has created a smart phone application that they will create, customize and brand for the library to include a variety of features, allowing libraries to go mobile in an easy and affordable way, even if they lack the technical expertise in-house.  
    Using the Boopsie application, patrons can not only search the library catalog, but also ask one of your reference librarians a question by text, check out Overdrive books in just a few clicks, search for a book in your catalog that you found in a book store by scanning the ISBN, browse your calendar of events, and much, much more all from a single application!  The application works with both Apple and Android products, and you can customize the interface to keep with your library’s branding. 

    If interested in learning more about Boopsie for Libraries, including registering for an informational webinar,  visit http://www.ny3rs.org/site/view/129.  Please complete the Interest Form for a customized price quote.
