English abstract

Apps are used by university libraries to disseminate their collections and services. In 2011 the University of Salamanca (USAL) launched the first mobile app for libraries in Spanish-speaking regions: Biblio USAL. Usage data was gathered for this app (2011-2015) and analyzed and compared to that of the university library’s mobile website. The findings show a preference for adapted web versions and the need to offer new generation apps that provide services not featured on the website.

Spanish abstract

Las bibliotecas universitarias emplean apps para la difusión de sus colecciones y servicios. La Universidad de Salamanca (USAL) lanzó en 2011 la primera aplicación de bibliotecas en el ámbito hispanohablante. Se analizan los datos de uso de la app BiblioUSAL (2011-2015) y se comparan con los datos de acceso a la versión móvil de su sitio web. El estudio determina la preferencia del usuario por las versiones web adaptadas y la necesidad de ofrecer apps de nueva generación que aporten servicios no disponibles en la web.
