Mississauga Library has unveiled an exciting new mobile app and upgraded catalogue, significantly enhancing the user experience and marking a new era in the library’s commitment to technological integration for improved service delivery.
Upgraded Catalogue
The revamped catalogue features a host of new capabilities designed to meet the changing needs of library users. Central to these enhancements are smarter search capabilities. With improved filters and advanced search options, users can effortlessly navigate the library’s extensive collection to find exactly what they need with ease.
Additionally, the upgraded system improves the browsing experience by consolidating all formats of a title into a single record. Whether users are looking for audiobooks, e-books, or traditional print versions, all available formats are displayed together, simplifying the selection process. Users can also explore new titles, award winners, bestsellers, and receive personalized recommendations for related and similar reads.
The new catalogue also incorporates community features, adding a social dimension to the library experience. Users can rate and review titles, add custom tags for easier discovery, and create and share lists of book recommendations. These interactive features not only enhance the user experience but also foster a vibrant community of readers and learners.
New Mobile App
A major highlight of this initiative is the launch of a new mobile app, available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Designed to bring the library’s resources directly to users’ fingertips, the app replicates the new features of the upgraded catalogue and introduces additional functionalities tailored for modern library users. With the app, users can manage multiple library accounts effortlessly, use a digital library barcode for convenience, and utilize ISBN barcode searching for quick finds. An upcoming feature for item checkout is expected to streamline the borrowing process even further.
A Digital Transformation
The introduction of the upgraded catalogue and mobile app marks a significant milestone in the Mississauga Library’s journey towards digital transformation. By embracing technology to enhance accessibility, convenience, and user engagement, the library is not only adapting to the digital age but also setting new standards for what a library can achieve. As users begin to explore all the features the new system offers, Mississauga Library is ready to transform the library experience for its community.
