Techlogic Partners with Boopsie on Security-Smart App

Tech Logic and Boopsie have entered a new partnership to improve and simplify library management of mobile device use by patrons. This collaboration
integrates Boopsie for Libraries mobile platform technology with Tech Logic’s MyMobileLibrary product line. The first product libraries can expect to see from
this collaboration is MyMobileLibrary: App, a mobile self-checkout application that allows patrons to securely check out items from anywhere within the library using their smartphones. The application communicates with a library’s ILS and is the first that is compatible with RFID security, using MyMobileLibrary: Security Kiosk. MyMobileLibrary: Security Kiosk provides patrons with a method to deactivate the security on their checked out items. Patrons place their items on the kiosk shelf and the items’ RFID theft bits are automatically deactivated only if the items have been properly checked out. MyMobileLibrary: App is expected to be available fall 2011, and is compatible with smartphones including Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Mobile.
