LibGuides, LibAnswers, LibCal, and LibStaffer Features Coming Your Way!

These releases are on their way to you next week, and will be live in all regions by the end of the day on Friday, September 27, 2024.

LibCal

  • SMS Reminders are now available for event registrations, and additional reminders are coming soon!
  • We've added the ability to override LibAuth authentication at the Space level if enabled for a location. This is helpful for locations where you may, for example, have both community and study spaces where the community rooms require a library card in order to make a booking while the study spaces does not require authentication.
  • We've modified the new event flyer "Large Image Style" printout to auto fit longer descriptions around the QR code. Previously the description would run over the QR code without adjusting the description font size or length for the event.
