Theres an App for that - Library iPhone apps

Yes, libraries and librarians are getting more digital everyday. So replace that mental image of the old luddite librarian with the image of a Twitter power user.

Here is the list of Library iPhone apps as best as I can find. If you know of others, please let me know. Click on the names of apps to find out more about them.


ALA2009 - The annual conference for American Libraries Association 2009 (held in Chicago) Sessions and Exhibitors guide. [Maybe a little outdated now, but think about it- the first library conference to have its own iPhone app.] Price - FREE.

WorldCat Mobile - THE library catalog. WorldCat allows you to search catalogs of libraries across the world, and find an item in the closest bibliotheque to you. Price - FREE.

DCPL - Washington DC's public library system app. Search the catalog, read reviews and find locations. Price - FREE.

Library - Finds the closest public library to right now! Designed for parents with small children. Price - FREE.

ICDL - International Children's Digital Library. They actually have TWO apps. One that is 4 children's books you can read from an iPhone and another that is a storykit. Price - FREE.

GTLogin - Not so much a library app, as one for Georgia Tech students. This program offers an easy way to login into the GT wireless internet. Built in to the app are library tools- such as finding available computers in the library. Price - FREE.


And Finally...

Shhh - Simply shhhes in a male or female voice. Price - FREE.
