Can We Talk? Adding a Smart Assistant Interface to Library Services

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Fall 2019 Project Briefings / Can We Talk? Adding a Smart Assistant Interface to Library Services

January 3, 2020

Director of Library IT

The Iowa State University (ISU) Parks Library has been working with a third-party developer to create a smart assistant app, currently based on Amazon Alexa technology, to interface with various library services. The smart assistant, called Parks Libro, uses APIs provided by various ISU library systems to return a variety of library-related information, including results of searches of library collections, information related to the user’s library account, and information related to library hours and events. This session will provide background information on the work to develop Parks Libro, a demonstration of the current Parks Libro capabilities, and show the roadmap for the next phase of Parks Libro development.
