Quipu Group Announces Online Cultural Reservation System

Quipu Group, in conjunction with Contra Costa County (Calif.) Library (CCCL), recently announced the first implementation of an emerging online and mobile application that allows libraries and cultural institutions to provide virtual access to free or discount passes. Cultural Connections, implemented by CCCL as Discover & Go, gives library users the ability to make reservations for cultural passes online by desktop or mobile, eliminating the need to
physically pick up passes. Because passes expire automatically, users no longer need to physically return them, avoiding any possible overdue fines. With Cultural Connections, participating partners can work with the library to target a subsection of patrons and to maintain better control of when passes are offered. Quipu Group is continuing development on the application, including mobile access and the creation of a consortial model. A demo is available here. Quipu Group, LLC is a library-specific software development and consulting company.
