In today’s fast-paced world, where information is readily accessible with just a few taps on our smartphones, students are constantly on the move, juggling academic commitments, extracurricular activities, and personal responsibilities. In this environment, the traditional notion of visiting the library to access or check resources can feel outdated and cumbersome. Recognizing the need for a library experience that integrates into students' busy lives, 2CQR has developed the KOHA Mobile App—a revolutionary solution designed to bridge the gap between students and their academic resources. This useful app transforms the way students engage with their library's offerings, bringing the entire library experience right to the palm of their hands.
With the 2CQR’s KOHA Mobile App that is available on the Play store, students can tap into their library's wealth of knowledge from the comfort of their own devices. It’s like having a library in your pocket, ready to serve you whenever you want. However, it's essential to understand that access to the app is tightly regulated. Only institutions that have implemented KOHA library management software through 2CQR and have their KOHA data synced with the app can grant access to their students. This ensures that the app remains an exclusive tool tailored to the needs of each institution, safeguarding the privacy and security of library resources.
The KOHA Mobile App can be customized for your specific college or institution. 2CQR will work with your library LMS ( KOHA) to develop a version of the app tailored to your needs. This includes creating unique login credentials for students, ensuring secure access to the library's resources. Once students have their credentials, they can simply log in to the app and unlock a world of features.
