A new app has been released by Surrey Libraries in the UK to give their users more ways to browse, reserve and renew items. The app lets users with Apple or Android devices log into their library account from wherever they are. The libraries are undergoing a digital revolution and also offer free Wi-Fi to give users internet access on their own devices. In his paper, McMenemy discusses the emergence of digital services in the public library domain via a study of the websites of all Scottish public library services. This study found a good standard of innovation in digital services around LMS functions, offering users the ability to keep in control of their borrowing and reserving. It also found high-quality information offered both within the library and for users to access from their home or workplace, although guidance on usage of these resources could be improved.
