SpringyNews: Out of Beta, Into Primetime

September 2014

Meet LibApps!

Brody Selleck

Think back to 2007. Juno was making waves in theaters worldwide. Your book club had just finished reading Water for Elephants. And Springshare was wowing Libraryland with the launch of LibGuides. 

Fast forward to 2014 and the Springshare family of tools grew to seven library-centric apps – LibGuides, LibAnswers, LibAnalytics, LibCal, LibAnalytics, LibStaffer, and LibSurveys!

Seven great products with severn separate logins, and seven places to maintain your profile and update your selfie! Oh no! What to do?

Introducing LibApps, short for Library Apps. 

With LibApps, you can:

  • Login once and jump to all your v2 Springy Tools
  • Centrally manage your profile box
  • Update your password and email login globally
  • Access a unified image manager

How do I get to LibApps?

Login to any of your v2 tools and then select LibApps from the Command Bar. 

What's Unified under LibApps?

  • LibGuides v2
  • LibGuides CMS v2
  • LibAnswers v2
  • LibSurveys *new*

Coming Soon:

  • LibCal v2 (Fall/Winter, 2014)
