How many apps has your institution created (or branded)? Which departments or teams designed them? Does your library have a presence in every single one?

A 2017 national survey revealed that twenty-three percent of undergraduate students log onto five or more mobile platforms to access the programs they need to succeed in college. At the University of Missouri, students use many more university-branded platforms to access vital information, services, and resources. Many of these applications were created in relatively siloed departments and launched quickly. Almost all were initially designed (or purchased and customized) without library input.

Hear from a panel of academic librarians about how their organization succeeded in integrating library resources and services into a wide-variety of university-branded applications, and their plans for maintaining a seat at the app design table moving forward.
