Mobile technology and libraries:
The way mobile technology changes the
library experience it makes it easier for anyone who has a smart phone to be
able to download ebooks onto their devices by using a downloadable app. With
the apps on phones or tablets you can browse the library catalog of ebooks, 24/7
at all hours of the day or night, even when the Library is closed for the day.

| Libby App |
 |
| Cloud Library |
These are the apps that I use. Once they
are downloaded to your smart phone or tablet it can be used to check out ebooks
from public library that are connected to these apps. It is very easy to set up
you just put in your library card information and a pass code and you are good
to go. I like them because if I can’t find abook in one library I might find it
at another. The only thing about this is that you need a library card for each
of the libraries you plan to use. For example the Escondido Public Library and the San Marcos County Library use the my Libby app and I do
have a library card for both libraries. The Cloud Library is for the San Diego
Public Library and I also have card for that library.

I have never used the Cloud Library app. Do you have a preference between the two apps?
