A legal dispute between Hawaii Public Library System vendor SirsiDynix and its third-party vendor, Solus, continues, but HSPLS is looking to provide basic virtual services to patrons with a mobile app solution. I made it.
You can find the app by searching for “Hawaii Library” in the mobile app store or by stopping by your local public library. HSPLS is relaunching its original app, and app provider ChiliFresh is working with her HSPLS to add features patrons will love, including the ability to provide access to multiple library accounts .
ChiliFresh’s “Libraries Hawaiian” app provides the following basic services:
- Use in place of a physical library card
- Check your account information, including borrowed items, due dates, fines, etc.
- Browse the HSPLS catalog
- Scan the barcode of a book, DVD, or CD title to check availability in HSPLS’s catalog
- View the list of checked out items and update items
- View a list of reserved items and reserve or cancel them
- See library opening hours
- Update and scan items
Ebooks and audiobooks can still be checked out using the Libby application.
“We truly appreciate the patience of our library users, and we look forward to continuing to improve access to our apps and better serve you,” said State Librarian Stacey A. Aldrich. Stated.
