Log Seven: BAPP Smartphone Apps Guide

I have downloaded a few applications (apps) for my smartphone from the Android Market which I feel have been very useful and thought I would share them with everyone via this guide. I have added the official description of each app so you know what they can do. 

Hope this helps anyone with a smartphone who like me likes to work while on the move. Thanks for reading.

1. Middlesex Uni App

You'll also be able to find staff contacts, use the maps feature to get to our campuses, as well as browse projects and papers in the Research Repository. There are facebook and twitter feeds bringing you the latest news at Middlesex. You can search the entire library catalogue on your mobile. Just type the first couple of letters of words and see the search in action as you type. You can check whether the books you want are available and place reservations if they're on loan, as well as renewing the books you have already borrowed. Use the app to find a library computer at any of our campuses that is free for you to use. Our Ask a Librarian feature lets you send a question to our librarians about books, journals or any other library resources for your course and you can even check if your question has already been answered before.
