TY - CHAP A1 - Mohnke, Janett A1 - Seeliger, Frank T1 - iCampus goes Library - Advantages of Using a Multimedia Guide in a Library T2 - 2012 IATUL Proceedings N2 - At University of Applied Sciences Wildau in Germany students have developed and evaluated a mobile and multilingual on-campus-information system, called iCampus Wildau. With the help of maps, audio tracks, and 360°-pictures a user is guided across campus and provided with current information about visible and invisible services and options. Because of its modular and general approach, the guide has been used for several, quite different purposes. One very successful application case has been a multimedia guide for the university library. This has been used for introducing new library users into using the library services, providing information about the special architecture of the library building, or even as a multimedia guide for one of the many exhibitions that find their place in the library. In this paper, we will explain the features of this application, provide some practical experiences, and show how it can easily be adapted to any library (or campus).

The goal of this project is to develop an interactive information system for the improvement of virtual library services within the university’s library and in this manner make users more aware of all the benefits the library provides. The system concentrates mainly on the development and implementation of new software applications for devices such as smartphones, tablets and a multi-touch screen, as well as introducing new back-end applications for the improvement of existing services and processes. We will explain the features of this system, provide some practical experiences, and show how it can easily be adapted to any library.
