The SWAN-branded instance of Aspen LiDA, the SWAN Libraries + app, is live and available to download in the iOS and Android/Google Play stores.
Note: We're not yet seeing the app appear when searching the Google Play store, but you can access it through the direct link.
SWAN recommends a public announcement date of December 26th for patrons. Prior to this, library staff can get acquainted with the app.
Staff webinar dates
SWAN is offering two dates for a demo and Q&A for the new app. The first session will be recorded and posted on the SWAN support site.
Resources
Mobile app instructions for patrons are available on the SWAN patron site. You can access and share through the direct link, and SWAN will make these more visible on the patron site and in Aspen following the December 26th public announcement date.
Library staff documentation for LiDA is available. Your settings in Aspen Administration will carry over to your app instance, so there is no action required on your part. You may choose to add:
- A LiDA-specific logo in Themes, which appears when patrons select their library
- Library hours in Location settings, which appear in your library's contact information in the app
Graphics are available to use or adapt in social media and your library website are (editable in Canva).
