SimplyE in the News . . . Again

Thanks to the redoubtable Micah May from New York Public Library for sharing news that the SimplyE app has gone past its "soft" roll-out and is now officially launched. 

Explains May:

"Although NYPL's SimplyE went into the App Store last month as part of a "soft launch" or "preview" it formally launched today with promotional materials in the branches and press push.  Here is some of the initial coverage:"

"We expect coverage in WNYC and Library Journal later this week.  I've been most excited about rave reviews on social media from our own librarians, who can be a tough audience."  

This app's implementation of ReadersFirst principles makes it the first library-developed tool for getting content across diverse platforms. Watch here for more news as it expands in use and is enhanced in features.
