Benefits to Institutions
-
Increased engagement: Students get 24/7 access to library resources on an easy-to-use app designed specifically for their smartphone or tablet of choice. Library engagement increases student retention.
-
Orient students to library services: Avoid student frustration by giving them access to library resources they may otherwise feel intimidated to discover via an app experience similar to ones they spend 80% of their mobile device time in.
-
Exciting features: Students not only get mobile access to search the library catalog, but they get features like Ask A Librarian, Events Calendar, Blogs and other Social Media, and BookLook Mobile.
-
All devices: Boopsie’s apps are optimized for Android, iOS, Windows Phone 8, Windows Mobile, Windows 8, Kindle Fire, and BlackBerry platforms.
-
No burden on IT department: Boopsie provides ongoing support and maintenance by keeping up with all mobile platform updates, and offering any other support you may need related to your app content. We are often able to make same-day changes to your app.
-
Better ROI: Boopsie has done integrations with major academic content providers, such as EBSCO, Credo, ProQuest and Gale, to provide seamless access to content within the library app, which increases usage of already-paid-for subscriptions.
-
Quick deployment: The launch process is easy, and we provide templates to help you promote and market your library app. We have refined the deployment process to minimize impact on your staff. On average, it takes only about 1 day of your staff time to gather the information we need to build your app.
-
Innovation: A way for your library to be innovative and deliver lasting value to students and the academic community, including prospective students.
