July has been another incredible month for smartsm with the number of UK and International library services signing up to the solution continuing to grow. In addition, the implementation team have been busy working closely with more customers who are now going LIVE with the product and beginning the process of utilising EBSM across their respective library services.

On Sunday June 27th we hosted an invite-only breakfast session at ALA Conference in Washington DC. Again, this well attended event gave us the opportunity to show collectionHQ to a hand-picked audience of some of the leading public libraries in North America.
Since we launched the product in North America in late March, we have had a tremendous response and are delighted to already be working with a number of the most innovative and high profile public libraries in North America.
