Introducing Boopsie....An App That's Like Having Your Own Personal Librarian

The San Mateo County Library's new mobile application simplifies just about everything library-related.

The San Mateo County Library (SMCL) has announced the launch of its new mobile app, powered by Boopsie. The app is available for both smart phones and tablets.

The SMCL Mobile App is available to download at www.smcl.boopsie.com , or visit the app store for your particular device. With the SMCL app, customers are able to perform many of the same tasks they do online: search the catalog, place holds, renew materials, and see a display of new books, movies and music. They can follow SMCL blogs, check out events and programs, locate SMCL branches, and connect with library staff.

The new app is also designed to simplify access to the library’s collection of ebooks/eaudiobooks with easy download ability. Finally, the app features BookLook, which can be used to scan a book’s ISBN code to find out if the item is owned by SMCL. 

For more information, go to www.smcl.org/

I can start with the comments on the Theravance drug, fluticasone fluroate - the active moiety inRead More this compound is the same, fluticasone (proprionate) that has been marketed by GSK for the same indication for approximately 25 years. Indeed, that patent is so old, and the drug has such a proven track record for safety and efficacy, that the patent has expired and there are generic versions available. There is also in implicit assumption by the author that the only reason that the FDA will approve medications in a short time span is because they are for 'life-or-limb' or unmet serious medical need. This is just not the case - regulators in many countries, including the FDA in the USA, may give accelerated approval to a product, where the safety and tolerability of a product is equivalent to a similar active agent which has already been approved. I suspect this is the case for fluticasone fluroate - but I am not privy to the details of the regulatory filing. I note that none of the companies mentioned here, nor the FDA, has provided input to this article. The journalism in this article smacks of someone trying to make a name for themselves quickly by scaring uneducated and/or anxious people. The science is just plain flawed.

Ill-informed, sensationalist rubbish.
