At PLA, I attended a workshop devoted to the Simply-e APP
which is being developed by NYPLA and ALA librarians. This was the best
presentation of this project I have seen yet. The presenters explained the
project’s goals: 1) to simplify the user experience 2) to allow users to access
data from different providers on one app, and 3) to help libraries gain more leverage
when negotiating with vendors of the popular electronic formats.
Several MD
counties are piloting this app this year. The workshop recommended that
interested librarians download the app to learn how it works. They also asked
us to encourage co-workers to explore the app as well.
