Recently, beacons were launched for the first time at a library in Europe. It seems that all of the beacon projects at libraries have inspired others around the world. At the Kariru library in Sabae Japan, there is now an indoor navigation app. They have installed 131 beacons in two stories, which is a relatively large installation – especially for a library. Having so many beacons being used has allowed for more than just general navigation that you might find at other libraries. With this app, you can find certain stacks of books, not just rooms. It does not seem to be fully integrated with a book search system, but it is certainly the next step up for beacons at libraries. But using Ripplinq we can do book Search and other functions without internet and app.

Notifications about specific books in a shelf can be sent to members who are in vicinity of that shelf
Information about a member’s individual library account, such as renewal dates, availability of requested books, and other circulation notifications can be automatically sent to the member’s phone when he/she enters the library.
When a person enters the library, the Ripplinq App will open and fetch the USER ID cookie to showcase the relevant content
Updates about various events in the library can be sent to members either at the entrance, or at other specific locations within the library (eg. cafeteria, notice board, etc.)
ripplinq , together with map integration can display a member’s exact location on the map of the library, thus making it easy for him/her to look up different areas on the map and navigate to specific locations.
