Creating a Mobile Library Website
Cutshall, Tom C.; Blake, Lindsay; Bandy, Sandra L.
Computers in Libraries, v31 n7 p22-25, 48 Sep 2011
The overwhelming results were iPhones and Android devices. Since the library wasn't equipped technologically to develop an in-house application platform and because we wanted the content to work across all mobile platforms, we decided to focus on creating a mobile web-based platform. From the NLM page of mobile sites we chose the basic PubMed/ MEDLLNE search, the PubMed PICO search (a mnemonic device to aid in medical literature searching), and the PubMed journal abstracts. Since MEDLINE is our most used database, there was no doubt that we wanted to provide multiple access points--one for the novice searcher and one for the experienced searcher.
