A
Well,
good
morning,
everybody
I'd
like
to
thank
the
organizers
for
quahog
us
for
having
given
me
the
chance
to
present.
Today
I'm
a
little
disappointed.
I
wasn't
being
able
to
be
there
in
person,
but
I
hope
everyone
is
doing
well
and
staying
safe
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
you
guys
next
next
year
at
the
conference
again,
my
name
is
christopher
and
I'm
the
coordinator
of
technology
at
the
ajax
public
library,
just
quickly
about
ajax
ajax,
is
located
in
ontario
canada
about
45
minutes
east
of
toronto.
A
A
A
So
again,
thank
you
again
for
choosing
to
attend
my
talk
today.
I'm
very
excited
to
give
it
I'd
like
to
go
over
just
our
mobile
app
I'll,
be
touching
a
bit
on
the
how
and
the
why
of
the
app
and
doing
a
quick,
walkthrough
and
showing,
I
guess,
maybe
bragging
a
little
bit
but
showing
a
little
bit
about
the
stats
that
we've
seen
so
far.
A
A
One
of
our
migration
decisions
that
we
made
was
to
cut
the
app
because
of,
I
guess,
poor
interpretation
of
the
stats
at
the
time,
and
I
will
own
that
the
google
store
and
the
ipad
or
the
apple
store
showed
that
we
had
very
low
installation
an
uptake,
and
there
was
nobody
ever
really
asked
about
the
app
and
there
were
times
when
I
may
have
not
updated
it
intentionally
to
see.
If
someone
asked
and
no
one
did
so,
we
made
the
assumption
that
losing
the
app
would
be
would
be
okay.
A
A
A
A
The
first
versions
relied
heavily
on
sip
connection
smoke
and
mirrors.
Searching
was
done
through
a
plug-in
and
access
to
report.
The
return
results
had
little
to
no
relevance
to
the
search
term
and
it
returned
only
the
first
50
results
due
to
poor
search
speeds.
We
were,
I
think,
I
go
over
this
in
a
stat
later,
but
we
we're
seeing
search
speeds
return
in
like
12
to
15
seconds,
which
feels
like
an
eternity
when
you're
you're
hoping
to
get
it
back.
A
A
Initially
the
cover
heart
was
hit,
cover,
art
was
hit
or
miss,
and
some
of
it
was
borrowed
from
synthetics,
I'm
hoping
it
was
done
legitimately
movie
cover
art
was
pulled
from
a
third
party
source
search,
results
were
slow
and
the
early
version,
I'm
sorry
the
search
results
were
slow
on
the
early
version
of
the
app.
As
I
had
alluded
to
and
many
times
returning
results
in
five
to
ten
seconds.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
I'm
just
going
to
back
up
here
again
and
down
here.
We
have
what
we
call
our
quick
searches.
These
are
cultivated
once
a
week
or
so
and
provide
different
search
topics.
We
try
to
be
kind
of
tongue-in-cheek
with
some
of
them
and
cute,
but
the
varying
success
of
how
they
work
and
again,
once
you
click
on
an
item
from
here,
you're
brought
to
the
same
place
a
hold
screen
where
you
can
see
what
the
title
is
place,
a
whole
hold
location,
see
if
I
can
grab
one
that
has
more
than
one
hold
type.
A
A
The
account
tab
again
through
the
use
of
aspen
has
given
seen
the
most
growth
in
our
latest
version
beyond
showing
what
items
a
patron
has
out
and
allowing
them
to
renew
the
app.
It
also
shows
items
that
they
have
on
hold
so
looking
quickly
here,
customizes
it
with
my
name.
The
barcode
is
important
as
well
for
us
what
they
have
out
and
what
they
have
on
hold.
A
I
accidentally
clicked
the
wrong
button
in
quahog
this
morning,
so
I
can't
show
you
that
this
one
was
grossly
overdue,
but
it
will
list
my
items
in
right
now.
It
lists
the
items
it
will
highlight
the
ones
in
yellow
that
are
due
within
the
next
week
and
then
this
one
you
would
have
seen
had
I
not
clicked
the
wrong
button
that
it
was
red
because
it
was
approaching
within.
I
think
it's
three
days
of
due
or
overdue,
so
it
appeared
there.
A
One
of
the
coolest
features
we've
seen.
Is
this
renew
all
button?
It's
given
again
a
chance
to
renew
everything
at
once,
which
is
a
kind
of
a
neat
thing.
Otherwise
you
can
click
here
and
renew
the
book
individually
and
provided
the
there
are
no
holds
or
the
other
things
that
prevent
a
hold
for
a
research
from
happening.
It
will
continue.
A
A
So
I'm
just
gonna
slip
back
to
my
presentation.
Apparently
from
the
beginning
there
we
go
installation.
Initially,
growth
was
slow,
but
it
was
aided
by
a
push
on
both
our
website
and
our
email
publication
for
us
here.
The
covid
declines
were
very
real.
We
were
closed
for,
I
believe
we
closed
march
in
of
2020
and
we
we
remained
closed
until
late
summer.
A
A
For
circulation
for
the
most
parts,
our
hold
of
trended
positively,
as
we've
emerged
from
covid
renewal
data,
has
ebbed
and
flowed
with
the
severity
of
the
coveted
lockdowns.
When
we
first,
when
we
first
went,
we
were
just
pushing
people's
renewal
dates
forward,
so
they
didn't
have
to
worry
about
them.
But
now
that
we've
moved
back
in,
you
can
see
that
we've
seen
steady
growth
in
both
the
number
of
holds
placed
and
renewals
over
time.
A
So,
where
are
we
now?
We're
constantly
striving
to
make
the
app
faster
and
more
relevant,
we're
hoping
to
add
some
new
functionality
coming
up
this
year,
which
would
allow
staff
cultivated
lists
in
either
aspen
or
koha
to
appear
we're
I'm
going
to
work
on
enhancing
the
security
features,
one
of
the
really
cool
features
that
almost
made
it
into
this
most
recent
version
was
the
ability
to
scan
the
upc
of
a
book
to
search.
A
A
B
B
A
A
A
The
app
does
play
nicely.
I
forgot
to
mention
this
too.
The
app
plays
very
nicely
with
overdrive,
we're
still
working
on
making
it
play
nicely
with
hoopla
and
other
third-party
systems.
I
believe
the
systems,
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
a
canadian
thing
the
systems
we
have
up
here
differ
from
your
guys.
Just
a
little
bit
I
mean
we
don't
have
some
of
the
breadth
of
the
ones
you
guys
do
so
hoopla
is
hopefully
coming
but
overdrive.
It
plays
very
nicely
with.
B
A
I'm
hoping
yes
at
some
point
right
right
now.
We
don't
have
that
functionality,
because
it's
not
it
wasn't
instrumental
in
getting
the
app
up
and
running,
which
was
the
which
was
the
goal
initially,
I
believe,
if
it
wasn't
rebecca,
somebody
mentioned
that
in
the
aspen
meeting
as
well-
and
I
took
note
of
it
and
it's
it's
on
the
list
of
things
to
look
at
it's
just
not
right
at
the
top
of
the
list.
At
this
very
moment,
it's
it's.
B
A
A
We
learned
a
lot
like.
I
said
we
learned
a
lot
about
test
flight.
We
learned
a
lot
about
how
to
test
it
properly.
I
could
test
it
on
the
my
iphone,
I'm
sorry,
my
android
phone
and
it
worked
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
I
would
get
messages
from
internal
staff.
Members
about
the
ipads
or
their
apple
devices
were
breaking
because
I
didn't
see
the
error
messages
so
again,
very
much
learning
on
the
fly
I
enjoy.
I'm
appreciative
of
the
rope
I
was
given
by
my
management
team
here
to
do
that,
but.
B
A
B
A
A
So
the
issue
we
ran
across
with
the
access
to
the
camera
on
the
ios
device
push
notifications
might
become
an
issue
because
we're
not
developing
in
native
swift,
so
there
I
will
have
to
do
a
little
bit
of
digging.
But
yes,
push.
Notifications
is
something
that
was
asked
for
almost
immediately
after
we
pushed
out
the
app
but
yep,
that's
okay,
hopefully
on
the
horizon.
B
C
Well,
this
is
mark.
I
I
mark
nope
from
water
solutions-
hey
chris
yeah,
so
there
were
just
some
questions
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
too
about
where
bywater's
version
of
the
app
is
too
so
yeah
like
we're
we're
iterating
with
christopher
on
this
a
lot
too
so
we'll
we'll
definitely
be
working
on
some
of
those
there's
notifications
as
well.
