MuseGlobal and Info Library Team for Mobile Access to Libraries
May 3, 2012
As many book retailers are being shut down due to an increase in e-book and tablet use, many are worried about what will become of our public libraries. Info Library and Information Solutions recently reported on a partnership that may provide a solution to this problem in the article, “Muse Global and Info Library and Information Solutions on Mobile Search Platform.”
According to the write-up, MuseGlobal and Info Library and Information Solutions have come together to make libraries more mobile friendly by offering a custom mobile search platform usingMuseGlobal’s cloud-based mobile search interface and platform.
Info Library and Information Solutions also brings quite a bit to the table. Kristina Bivens, MuseGlobal’s CEO stated:
“Info Library and Information Solutions is well known for their end-user oriented product focus in delivering innovative technology solutions that help libraries serve, interact with and empower users with customizable, on-demand information discovery tools. The NOW platform clearly reflects this commitment and we are delighted to collaborate with Info Library and Information Solutions in extending the NOW platform’s offerings to bring together all of the library’s collections, third-party content, and custom services in one convenient mobile interface.”
MuseGlobal’s technology will allow Libraries the convenience of having a platform that is easy to implement and offers users access to their entire catalog without having to allocate additional time and resources. Sounds like an excellent idea to me.
