SmartLib is a mobile catalog for libraries of Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic). It is a mashup of several services to offer easy access to library catalogues of MU.
What motivated you to create the application?
SmartLib’s goal is to make access to library catalogs easier. We combine standard catalog functionality with access to 3rd party services and we are adding advantages of mobile phones e.g. barcode scanning. We develop this system for fun; we like to learn from using new technologies.
