The 2019 awards mark the fifth consecutive year that bibliotheca\u2019s solutions have received Gold and Platinum status in the MLAs. Previous years\u2019 winners have included our range of selfCheck kiosks<\/a>, remoteLocker<\/a>, flexAMH<\/a>, and cloudLibrary<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYear over year, bibliotheca\u2019s solutions continue to garner top scores from their customers,\u201d says Jenny Newman, publisher and MLA program manager. <\/span><\/p>\n

bibliotheca\u2019s 2019 MLA Winners:<\/b><\/p>\n

open+<\/b><\/a> (Platinum):<\/b> bibliotheca\u2019s comprehensive open library solution allows libraries to offer extended access to community members during unstaffed hours. open+ has been popular in Europe for over a decade and became available in North America in 2018. Three of bibliotheca\u2019s flagship North American open+ customers, Hamilton Public Library (ON)<\/a>, Ventura County Public Library (CA)<\/a>, and Gwinnett County Public Library (GA) partnered with bibliotheca to host open house informational sessions about the open+ system in late 2018. These events attracted nearly 100 innovative library leaders from around the country interested in learning how open+ can help libraries meet the needs of their communities and improve ROI. <\/span><\/p>\n

cloudLibrary<\/b><\/a> (Platinum):<\/b> bibliotheca\u2019s digital lending platform helps libraries integrate their physical and digital collections seamlessly. Already offering an intuitive, in-app borrowing experience for eBooks and eAudio, as well as integration with selfCheck self-service<\/a> stations, cloudLibrary<\/a> will be launching new modules in early 2019. These new modules provide interactive receipts, due date reminders, library information, virtual library cards, and mobile checkout of physical materials right from a user\u2019s smartphone. <\/span><\/p>\n

selfCheck 500 & selfCheck 1000<\/b><\/a> (Platinum and Gold):<\/b> bibliotheca\u2019s beautiful, user-friendly self-checkout kiosks have earned MLA awards for the last four years. Running quickConnect software and compliant with both EM and RFID technology, selfChecks offer a user experience second to none. <\/span><\/p>\n

remoteLocker<\/b><\/a> (Gold):<\/b> A remote holds pick-up solution that is as easy on the eyes as it is on the customer. remoteLockers provide libraries an affordable and attractive way to increase the convenience of library use by allowing users to pick up borrowed materials at grocery stores, community centers, or anywhere with shelter, electricity, and Internet access. <\/span><\/p>\n

flexAMH<\/b><\/a> (Platinum):<\/b> bibliotheca\u2019s fully modular, customizable automatic return and sorting solution allows libraries to get materials back on the shelves more quickly and accurately than ever before. <\/span><\/p>\n

We are delighted to once again be recognized for our work and our products as we continue to help libraries connect with users, deliver engaging experiences and transform the overall library experience,\u201d says Jim Hopwood, bibliotheca Chief Technology Officer. <\/span><\/p>\n
