Through the Fall, 2021 semester,
Logue Library has worked with the Computer Science Department to create an App to download on an Android or an Apple Device. Chestnut Hill College's library is the first to have such a personal Library App.
The App, Logue Link, is like an Arcade Claw Machine. Students will win every time by linking library resources such as academic journals' articles, books, tutorials, and streaming content.
So, how did Logue Link start?
Logue Dean, Sister Mary Jo Larkin, wondered if there was a way that patrons could get resources from the library using a handheld. The next question was, "how would it get developed?"
Logue's Systems Librarian, Jacqueline Presley, who recently created a new Website for the library decided to grab Sister Mary Jo's question and run with it.
Ms. Presley proposed a collaborative project with Chestnut Hill's Computer Science Department. So they were contacted to see if they can assist us with this concept.
Susan Ceklosky, M.S., Instructor in Computer Science, CHC.
A request Pam King, M.S who manages programs in the Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity connected Ms. Presley to Susan Ceklosky, Instructor in Computer Science, who agreed to help the idea become reality.
Here is a question and answer session with Professor Ceklosky:
Ms. Ceklosky found the perfect student to work on this Logue Link
Mustaf Nuredini, Class of 2022
Mustaf Nuredini, a 2018 graduate from Methacton High School will graduate in May, 2022 with a degree in Computer Science was the perfect candidate. His future career goal is to work in Software Development. Mustaf commented on this opportunity, "When I was approached by the library to create an app, I was thrilled to experience what I want to do as a career. I am happy to have been part of this project. It feels like I am part of history being involved in the first Library App for a college or university."
