Archived Webinar From EDUCAUSE Now Available: Library in Your Pocket
Yesterday, EDUCAUSE held an "Live!" webinar about the mobile web. It's official title, "Library in Your Pocket: Strategies and Techniques for Developing Successful Mobile Services.
The event was hosted by Steve Wrona. David Woodbury (Libraries Fellow, North Carolina State University) and Jason Casden (Digital Technologies Development Librarian, North Carolina State University) were the guest speakers.
Here's the Abstract:
Students are arriving on college campuses with the ability to connect to the web with a diverse array of mobile devices. However, some online services aren’t a good fit for the small screen, and new services can also be developed that take advantage of the mobile user context. Developers of the NCSU Libraries Mobile site ((http://m.lib.ncsu.edu) will share their strategy and techniques for creating a suite of mobile services that are optimized for a majority of mobile web platforms, from iPhones to flip phones. The session will also include a discussion of site usage and promotion as well as plans for future mobile services.
