quickConnect v2.13 | New integrations, expanded customisation, and accessibility improvements

May 2026

The latest quickConnect software release expands how libraries can connect users to services at the kiosk, with new third-party web integrations, an additional event provider, and greater flexibility in how the interface looks and sounds.

accessConnect: the secure gateway to external services 

quickConnect v2.13 introduces accessConnect, a new feature that allows libraries to embed third-party web content directly within the kiosk interface, giving users access to additional services without leaving the self-service experience.

• Generic integration: ideal for simple, touch-friendly pages such as user surveys or library feedback forms. No login required.
• Partner integration: designed for more functional services such as room booking, PC reservations, or OPAC search. Partner integrations support user authentication via selfCheck and can be styled to match the quickConnect interface.
  

This feature has been designed with the user experience in mind. Access to the browser address bar can be restricted, keeping users within the intended content. The WebContent icon can be customised with library-specific text and imagery to match the service being offered.

Libraries interested in exploring an accessConnect integration should contact their Bibliotheca representative to discuss next steps.

Adding third-party content extends what your kiosk can offer, but it is worth considering that users may spend more time on the device. Bibliotheca can help you think through the right setup for your library, contact your representative to discuss next steps.

LibraryCalendar by LibraryMarket: a new events integration 

quickConnect now supports LibraryCalendar by LibraryMarket as an event provider, joining our existing integrations with Communico Attend, Springshare LibCal, and LocalHop.

Libraries using LibraryMarket can now display upcoming events directly on the kiosk, keeping patrons informed and engaged with what's on at their library.

Full button icon customisation 

Libraries can now replace any kiosk button icon with a library-specific design directly through System Manager. This update makes the process more accessible and gives libraries greater control over how their kiosk looks. 

Additional updates 

This release also includes a number of iterative improvements across the platform:

• AudioNav sound output options: continued refinement of audio output flexibility for kiosks using the AudioNav accessibility device
• Estonian language support: quickConnect is now available in Estonian
• smartShelf snooze mode: libraries can now configure a custom snooze duration when operating in smartShelf mode
