  • Tag demodulates the signal and returns its data to reader
  • Reader sends data to the computer
  • The computer transmits new data through reader to tag

The iPhone is here for library users

BookMyne uses the iPhone’s GPS capabilities and the Google Maps API to identify participating libraries nearby. Users can identify the libraries they use frequently, and can search for other participating libraries from a global view. Symphony Web Services 2.0 is available at no cost to institutions using Symphony version 3.3 or later.

Symphony Web Services provides an administrative user interface to register libraries with the global directory of participating libraries. Libraries can list contact information, hours and website and include their logo and an image of the library that will appear when a user accesses their library through their iPhone.
