Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 2015 -- Boopsie, Inc., the leading mobile platform-as-a-service provider for libraries worldwide, has expanded its footprint in the law library market. The company today announced it has signed two new law library clients: Best Best & Krieger and The Law Society of Upper Canada. These two libraries join Boopsie’s growing customer base of law libraries, which includes prestigious institutions like the University of Colorado School of Law and the University of Georgia School of Law.
Boopsie will work with Best Best & Krieger and The Law Society of Upper Canada to develop customized mobile applications that provide its attorneys, paralegals and staff with seamless access to authoritative legal content from trusted aggregators and publishers. The mobile apps will feature content from the largest providers in the industry, including ProQuest eLibrary as well as legal databases such as Congressional Universe, EBSCO Legal Collection, Law.com, and others to be announced soon, to meet law professionals at their point of need.
According to Mark Gediman, Director of Information Services at full-service law firm Best Best & Krieger, “Access to authoritative legal information is integral to delivering effective, timely and service-oriented solutions to complex legal issues facing public agencies, businesses and individuals. By partnering with Boopsie, we’re able to connect our staff to the information that they need on a customized, mobile-optimized app.”
“The Great Library has provided legal information in Ontario for nearly 200 years,” said David Whelan, Manager, Legal Information, at The Law Society of Upper Canada. “The Boopsie app opens up our expanding digital collections to mobile users and makes our professional staff available from any device. As the legal information landscape continues to change, Ontario’s legal researchers will have a new way to take advantage of it.”
“At Boopsie, we focus on enabling libraries to make services more accessible to members of their diverse communities through scalable, reliable and easy-to-use library-branded mobile apps,” says Tony Medrano, Boopsie’s CEO, who has a J.D. from Stanford and experience in both law firms and public education.
“These new partnerships with Best Best & Krieger and The Law Society of Upper Canada expand our reach in the corporate library industry, giving us the unique opportunity to help their researchers be more efficient and better serve clients,” adds Megan Vizzini, Boopsie’s Senior Director of Business Development who also holds a J.D. and worked in the legal publishing field prior to leading the legal and corporate library teams at Boopsie.
