Pardon us with our calendar'y pun, but we couldn't help ourselves. We're proud to announce that LibCal v2 is now available! Inspired by the same ideas that made LibGuides and LibAnswers v2 possible, we’ve redesigned LibCal from the ground up. We’ll give you the quick breakdown of all the new features below, but trust us – the new system really has to be seen to be believed!
Nada. Zero. Zilch. Nothing. Our LibCal v2 update will include a bevy of hotly requested items and no additional charge.
Login to your LibCal v1 system and select the bright-red button on the left side of your screen to request your beta site. We'll do our best to install your beta site within 30 days of original request.
Here are a few quick notes about the beta site process:
Yes! We want to ensure that all clients get the latest & greatest Springy Tools! Want to get a quote? Email us at sales@springshare.com.
Yes! Sign-up for one of our three sneak-peek sessions in October. Everyone is welcome to join, whether you're using LibCal v1 or are brand-new to it!
All sessions below are listed in Eastern Time:
New for v2, we’re excited to introduce user authentication support for room booking sign-ups. Powered by LDAP or Shibboleth (CAS coming soon), users are prompted for their campus/institution credentials during the room booking sign-up process. We’ll verify the user’s credentials are real – if they are, we’ll pull key pieces of information (like their name, email address, etc.) into the room booking form. Better security + better user experience = what’s not to love?!
Note: While the entire update is completely free to all clients, authentication functionality is only available for paid/paying subscribers.
Today's users are mobile-driven and bouncing from one webpage to another. With LibCal v2, you can be where they are on whatever device they're using.
