I wonder when sites or perhaps better said portions of sites like ALA.org or SLA.org will become mobile friendly. We will keep a close watch and would welcome news about new mobile sites from library organizations.
OK, but wait, ALA does have one (as far as we know) mobile friendly site. It comes from ALA's Washington Office.
Simply enter the regular URL into your mobile browser and in just a second or two a nicely formatted mobile version of the blog will appear. The URL for the ALA's District Dispatch is: http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/ or we can make it shorter for you to type before you bookmark it. Simply enter: http://bit.ly/352Fph.
District Dispatch is published with WordPress and the MobilePress plug-in makes the blog ready for mobile readers.
See Also: The M-Libraries Wiki has a great collection of mobile versions of library websites, online catalogs, as well as SMS services. If your library offers mobile services and it's not on the list, you should add it. That's the wiki way. (-:
Note: We can here the RSS geeks already and you're absolutely right. District Dispatch does have an RSS feed and yes, making that RSS feed mobile friendly is as easy as adding it to your mobile aggregator (web-based or app) and reading away. So, let's modify. The District Dispatch mobile version is for non-RSS users.
