The clever people at Washington, D.C. Public Library have written an iPhone application that allows for searching of the library catalog. What a great idea. Now the iPhone-toting customer can check the library for an item without needing to find a computer or even (heaven forbid) go into the library.
DCPL’s catalog is Sirsi/Dynix and they say they’re going to eventually make the code public for you Sirsi users. The catalog searching iPhone app was inevitable, I suppose, but I believe DCPL are the first. Good for them.
