Auto-Graphics, Inc. announced the release to their AGent Library Management Platform, Auto-Graphics’ Library Mobile for VERSO, continuing the company’s investment in the industry it serves. This new real-time app is tightly integrated with back-end VERSO desktop business rules, which means library circulation rules such as e-book retention, placing holds, etc. are automatically recognized and enforced, unlike third-party mobile apps, to provide a complete, integrated solution. Strategically designed to work out-of-the-box, Auto-Graphics’ Library Mobile for VERSO takes advantage of functionality only available on mobile devices, such as using the device camera to scan a book barcode, or using geo-location functionality to help patrons to find the nearest VERSO-enabled library. From searching for materials, placing holds, looking up library events, to paying fines online, this new app promises to increase patron engagement with the library. Due to the app’s tight integration with VERSO, libraries easily can customize the app directly from the VERSO desktop to highlight their special collections and community engagement events, promoting them to their patrons on the devices they use the most. Auto-Graphics’ Library Mobile for VERSO has the potential to redefine how patrons interact libraries, providing them real-time library access directly from their cell phone or tablet. With Library Mobile, directly from their home, car, grocery, or bookstore, with complete ease, library patrons can: Find a library based on geolocation or zip-code; View their account; Search for materials and build lists; Scan a book’s barcode and instantly search for the book at your library; Place items on hold; Renew checked-out books; Pay fines, and more.
