Resumen

Apps are used by university libraries to disseminate their collections and services. In 2011 the University of Salamanca (USAL) launched the first mobile app for libraries in Spanish-speaking regions: Biblio USAL. Usage data was gathered for this app (2011-2015) and analyzed and compared to that of the university library´s mobile website. The findings show a preference for adapted web versions and the need to offer new generation apps that provide services not featured on the website.
