Mosio
for Libraries, an all-in-one, multi-channel virtual reference software for
libraries, announces its first solution implementation in South Africa. The
company’s partnership with Tshwane University of Technology will enable library
staff to interact with patrons and answer questions via live chat, email, text
messaging and Facebook.
“We are extremely excited to add Tshwane University of Technology's Libraries to our client roster and have already established a great, collaborative relationship with their team,” said Noel Chandler, CEO and Co-Founder of Mosio. “As one of Africa's leading universities of technology, we look forward to continuing our work to help them provide excellent information resources to students online or on-the-go.”
The Mosio for Libraries solution will launch in August, 2013, and will be rolled out to nine campuses, supporting approximately 56,000 students. The software features a secure, easy to use, web-based dashboard that can be utilized for two-way interactions with library patrons. Popular communication and efficiency tools include answer templates, customizable auto-responders and collaboration features. “The LIS is introducing major and exciting student service enhancements, including Mosio,” said Vivian Agyei, the Director for Library and Information Services.
“We are thrilled to become Mosio for Libraries’ first partner in South Africa,” said Nokuphiwa Kunene, Systems Librarian at Tshwane University of Technology. “Our priority is to implement a strong technology solution that allows us to better serve and interact with students, while also enabling us to maximize the use of resources by efficiently managing communications.”
Mosio for Libraries is available in 21 countries, including the U.S., Canada, UK, Spain, Australia and South Africa. The software is cloud-based, so it is always up to date and does not require any hardware or software installation. The dashboard can be accessed on any web-enabled computer or device, regardless of physical location.
Mosio for Libraries integrates easily across websites, blogs and online databases through support tabs and widgets, and plugins and apps are available for Drupal, Joomla!, Wordpress and Facebook. For more information or to sign up for a free, 14-day trial, visithttp://mosio.com/libraries.
