Welcome to this introduction to the Library Mobile app.
Our app is compatible with all web-enabled phones
and there are downloadable apps for iOS, Android, Blackberry,
Windows and many other platforms.
Here’s our mobile app in iTunes, Amazon
and Google Play.
Here’s what’s available through the app.
You can search the Library catalog. There’s a quick search feature where you only have to enter
in the first few letters of the words to start getting results.
Here’s a search for Paul Rand where I’ve entered in “pa ran”
and we’re already getting matches. When you see the item you’re interested in
click on it to see a more detailed record.
If you’re not sure where to find the item in the library, you can click here for a location map.
You can log into your account.

You’ll be able to see what you have checked out, on request and your current balance owed.
If you click on the checked out link, you’ll get a detailed list.

We’ve included some of our research tools that are mobile-friendly.
Here you’ll find our research guides
and mobile databases.
These aren’t all of our online resources but just the ones that function properly on small touch screens.
In addition, there are links to other library catalogs through WorldCat
where you can find books in local libraries and also the Oxy Library.
We have reciprocal borrowing privileges with Occidental,
so you can checkout books from their library as well.
We also make it easy to stay connected with updates from various social networks.
You can check out our Facebook timeline, read our twitter feed,
see the latest photo stream on Flickr
or Instagram and watch our video tutorials on YouTube.

There are also posters outside the library with the QR code
and bookmarks at the circulation desk with download information for the app.
