Pick of the Week: Teen Health & Wellness app

A little while ago I posted the number to COAST, Hamilton's prevention hotline and thought it was a good idea to have it programmed in your phone.

Well, there's an app for that.

The Teen Health & Wellness database, which is great by the way, has put out an app that has links to hotlines, no matter what you or your friends are going through.

There's a specific Ontario one here that you might want to grab. Right now it's available for iPhone but other platforms are hopefully coming soon.

Be safe!

HPL app

Did you know that HPL is now mobile? We now has an app for iPods/iPhones!

You can browse the catalog, check out the latest reviews, find out where branches are located and how late they're open and even see when your items are due.

To the left is the customer screen. It's really easy to see at a glance if you have things that are overdue or holds ready to pick up. You can also place holds from your phone or just see if we have the latest book in your favourite series.

Pretty cool!

You can check out other screencaps and download the app here.

If you have another smart phone, Bibliocommons is also available as a mobile site compatible with Blackberry or other mobile phones. Sinply type hpl.bibliocommons.com into your mobile browser.

Look out for an Adroid app coming soon!
