Barnard College's Ellyssa Kroski has put together a great blog on tools for building mobile library websites. As with all things Web- and Library 2.0, there a number of services - - many available for free - - to accomplish the task.
As we look to the next generation of Carmichael on the Web, we need to think about how to deliver services to our mobile users. We know that our students and faculty overwhelmingly have cell phones and smart phones, and they are looking for more out of their mobile devices.
Services like WorldCat Mobile will become increasingly important as our patrons turn to mobile computing as a way of moving through and interacting with the physical environment. I look forward to investigating these new services so that our users will be able to interact with Carmichael Library's collections and content, no matter what device they're using to log on.
