Bayside Library Service integrated with Google earlier this week, allowing members another way to access the library catalogue.
What does this mean for users? When you search for a book on Google, the knowledge panel – located on the right-hand side of the search results – lists where you can “Get Book” with options including purchasable (from a store) and borrowable (from a library) items. Simply search for a book, scroll down to Bayside Library Service and click “borrow” – you will then be redirected to our library catalogue where you can complete the reservation process.
This new service will allow increased visibility and greater access to our collection.
