Daftar Isi:
- In this communication we present “Liburutegiak”, a native application created for the Net of Public Libraries of Euskadi (NPLE) with the goal of spreading its librarian services from mobile devices, promoting their consultation and access both from tablets and smartphones. Throughout the text, the key processes that have been taken into account in the creation and development of the app “Liburutegiak” will be explained, mainly emphasizing the three key points that, in our point of view, are the foundation for the success for this application. First of all, the decision to create our own application instead of adapt our websites to mobile version. We will show a comparison chart with the advantages and disadvantages that stand for each option, and we will argue our final decision about our own application. Secondly, the choice of the services provided by these devices, through a selection based on the uses and possibilities which mobility offers over network consultation. Third and last, the elaboration of a market plan to spread this new channel of interrelation among libraries and users. Hence the importance to take care of aspects such as the name of the application, the identity brand and a clear and concise explanation of the usefulness of the application so as to encourage its downloading and use and, at the same time, collect data which will be useful to evaluate the impact of this new service so as to ensure its continuity and future success. The application can be downloaded for iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android devices (www.euskadi.net/appliburutegiak).
