New Gale Cengage Mobile Apps: Droid, iPhone, iPad

By admin

I haven’t updated you folks recently on the free mobile apps from Gale Cengage Learning so I thought I’d do that today.

The big news is that the droid app was released this week! AND we have iPhone apps for the public library, school library and university/college library sectors. AND I use my iPad app all the time! AccessMyLibrary is one of those things that is just a no-brainer to download to your own smartphone and to put an icon on your webpage(s).

AccessMyLibrary Public Edition uses GPS to find public libraries within a 10-mile radius of the user’s location then provides free access to credible Gale online resources.

After a one-time log-in, AccessMyLibrary School Edition supplies students with free, unlimited access to their school library’s Gale online resources.

Using your college e-mail address, AccessMyLibraryCollege gives you unlimited, 24/7 access to your college library?s Gale online resources.

Check out the whole family of apps here: http://www.gale.cengage.com/apps/

There are end user and librarian views and easy to add widgets and icons to promote this service from your library.

I get pretty excited about the potential to deliver the library’s goodness right to the user’s pocket. Play with these and see for yourself.
