Thing 11. Library and Reference

My library uses Boopsie as its mobile app. Last week in a meeting an IT guy said the app. will soon go away, once our new, more mobile-oriented site rolls out. That's ok with me. I've never found poor Boopsie very useful. For the most part, I use it to search the catalog, and that's the one thing it doesn't do well:(no advanced search options, no controlled vocabulary, etc.) On the other hand, for a lot of folks, Boopsie may be fine. You can check your patron account, see what events are going on, download ebooks, that kind of stuff. I guess it's not Boopsie; it's me.
