Mobile thing #3
Utilities- I had success with this thing right away as I had a student come up with a problem viewing something on her iPad because it doesn't use flashplayer, and the problem was fixed by installing the free version of Puffin. I also added the wi-fi locator, which I thought would be helpful when out and about with the iPad. I also decided to add Red Laser since we have a camera on the iPad, and some of our partners have added a qr code to their brochures or advertising. I tried them out and they work so slick! I made a list of new books, and I will add this new way of checking out what's new to our library blog for students to try. A few days later, we decided to start a new list, to find replacements for some outdated library materials. My librarian could then have an electronic list of the things she's looking to replace, so she can easily reference it. I took the barcoded ones that are new enough to have one, took a picture of it with the RedLaser program, and it immediately put it in my list. I had to manually type in the barcode number of our older cataloged items, but at least I could add them that way, then when done easily email the list to myself or others. It also showed what the book is worth out on ebay, which was handy.

This thing: Remember to go to your RedLaser home page, click on your lists. Add a new list, then scan barcodes to it or it will overwrite your previous bacodes in your lists.
