New Mobile Site: Cape Fear Community College Learning Resource Center
We know many of you appreciate seeing new or recently released mobile web sites during this boom. It's a potentially useful way to get some ideas for your own mobile site and/or just to see what others are doing. Most of the time we post to new/recently released sites from academic libraries usually from larger universities. Earlier, we posted about the new beta release from Boise St. University.
This time, a new mobile site from a community college library in beautiful Wilmington, NC. Yes, trivia fans, that's the same Wilmington where Dawson's Creek was filmed and the school is named Cape Fear Community College. That's the same Cape Fear as in Cape Fear the movies (1962, 1991).
Today the Cape Fear Community College Learning Resource Center released a mobile web site and did an excellent job.
You can access it at: http://cfcc.edu/lrc/m/
You can view it on any browser, regular or mobile web.
It's very impressive! Like all web sites, this is the first release so more is coming but even with release 1.0 they've done an outstanding job. Aesthetically, it looks great on our iPhone browser (we love the subtle use of color) and in terms of use, it has what you've come to expect from many but not all mobile sites including:
+ Access to the Library Catalog
+ Access to Remote Database (in this case via EBSCOHost)
+ News and Events
+ Visitor Parking Info
(This is something you don't see everywhere and can be quite useful)
+ Info for Community Members Who Use the Library
+ Library Contact Info
We will continue to hunt down new/recent mobile sites from all types of libraries using a variety resources including, Twitter, Gerry McKiernen's "Spectrum", etc. If you would like to let ResourceShelf now about your new or recently released mobile site, feel free. Send us an email (gary@resourceshelf.com) or via Twitter @resourceshelf.
