With the mobile phone fast becoming indispensable in our everyday life, lower data charges  offered by service providers and better capabilities in new phone models, NLB has embarked on the development of a service to stay relevant with its customers.

 

Library in Your Pocket is an easy-to-use mobile portal packed with popular library services, all packaged in a clean, uncluttered interface for ease of use, navigation and speed of loading. Now you can:

• search the library catalogue
• check your account
• renew and reserve books
• download and read short stories
• view and book events
• pose a question to librarians
• subscribe to NLB’s free e-notification and reminder service

Launched in February 2009, the mobile portal is currently on a one-year public trial, during which the project team hopes to gather feedback and ideas of improvement for future enhancements. To date, it has attracted an average of 4,000 unique visitors, most of whom have commented positively on the relevance and usefulness of the portal to their mobile lifestyle.

To access the mobile portal, simply open the Internet browser on your mobile phone and go to the following address –
