Presenting to Spydus customers across Australia & New Zealand, the Civica team showcased their latest updates and had engaging discussions around topics including the use of Widgets to streamline staff workflows, Archives and historic collections, and the updated Spydus Discovery Platform. Special guest Samantha Campbell from Ipswich Libraries in QLD led a discussion on creating the Ipswich children’s OPAC utilising the power of Spydus open APIs.
Supported by a strong customer community, with global product development led in Melbourne, Spydus continues to improve connectivity and learning while building strong communities and culture.
