Quotes "....the mobile app provides an easier way to access the pick from shelf list and an option to streamline business workflows…” Tony Wai, Discovery Services & Systems Librarian, Macquarie University “…Alma is all about creating efficient workflows and the new Alma Mobile access app helps library staff do just that. With the app, the ability to quickly complete fulfillment tasks is in the palm of our hands. By using the device’s camera or adding a wireless barcode scanner, our service desk moves with us through the stacks.  This is a remarkable achievement which saves time and money, and helps our staff serve patrons better than ever…” Laura Guy, system librarian at Colorado School of Mines “…The Alma Mobile development team are committed to developing an app which really adds value to current library processes in mobile environments… we look forward to working with Ex Libris to enrich the mobile functionality to enhance our workflows…” Chris Jones, Library Systems Manager, Digital Services & Systems, University of Sheffield Library
