The Library In Your Pocket! - Library Mobile Application

March 22, 2010 - by Stan Bogdanov

AU2GoAdelphi University Libraries are pleased to announce the release of the Library Mobile Application (Library App) as part of Adelphi's Mobile Application Suite - AU2Go! Months in the making, the Library App was developed in-house by Stan Bogdanov and the Library Web Committee in order to bring some of the most important library features to our mobile users. Anybody with an iPhone, iPod Touch, Palm Pre, or any smart-phone running the Android operating system can access the app. To access it, open the web browser on your mobile device, enter m.adelphi.edu in the address bar and click on "Library." If you access this address using a desktop browser, you will be able to see a short information video about AU2Go, voiced by the Library's own Nick Ferrelli. Complete instructions on how to access and save the app for future use, an FAQ, and a list of supported devices is also available on the information page of AU2Go. Library AppThe following features are currently available in the Library App:

  • Hours (of all Library branches)
  • Librarians (contact information for every librarian, arranged by subject specialty)
  • Service Areas (contacts for the different Library Service Areas)
  • Streaming Audio (a free service, offered by our NAXOS music database)
  • Floor Maps (resizable images of the Library floor maps)
  • Blog (a mobile version of our blog - biBLiOGraphy)

More features are planned in the coming months. We are looking to greatly expand the Library App and turn it into a full-featured tool that puts the Library services you want in your pocket! Some of the features planned include: search through Alicat, search databases and journals, manage references, locate books in the stacks, and more! Click on the images to access the App and tell us how we did using the Suggestions/Feedback link at the bottom of the Library App's page. We have created this app for you and would like to hear more about what features you want - feel free to tell us more in the comments below!
