Event:

Experience BLUEcloud Mobile, the MSC’s new app that patrons can use to manage their accounts, search your catalog and MontanaLibrary2Go, and so much more! Attendees will learn how to:

• Download the app onto a smartphone and log in.
• Manage your account, including checkouts, holds, etc.
• Link other library accounts in the app.
• Explore your print and digital collections, as well as other Montana resources, all in one place!
• View library hours, location, and contact info right when it’s needed.

Refresh your memory on how to use MobileStaff (previously named MobileCirc) to:

• Perform basic circulation tasks, including viewing an onshelf items list of holds.
• Inventory your collection.
• Conduct outreach.

This workshop is intended for staff whose libraries are members of the Montana Shared Catalog, but all are welcome!

Keiley McGregor, Montana Shared Catalog Trainer, specializes in demystifying the MSC’s integrated library system. Online tutorials are her weapon of choice (because who remembers how to do something perfectly the first time?!). She earned her MLIS from Simmons College in 2013 and recently completed a MicroMasters in Instructional Design and Technology through edX. She believes that successful learning almost always comes down to mistakes, humor, and small, consistent steps forward.

Rebekah Kamp, Montana Shared Catalog Systems Administrator, specializes in analytics and public access and discovery products. Prior to joining the Montana State Library in 2017, she worked as a librarian in a variety of roles, including cataloging, technology, and youth services. She earned her MLIS from the University of Washington in 2011. Outside of the office, Rebekah volunteers with the Girl Scouts and explores the world near and far with her husband and three children.
