The WRLC mobile site (Version 1.0) can be accessed at: http://m.wrlc.org on your mobile device. It went live on Sunday. Using the m.wrlc address in a regular browser will provide info about the new service.
As of today, a user can:
1. Access basic info about each member library including phone number(s), map, library hours, and website URL.
2. MyAladin: Personalized services (check titles checked out, renew materials, etc.) with a login and password.
3) Search the WRLC Catalog (It's named Aladin): Users can search one member library or all member libraries in a single search. Links to view the record in the the full WRLC catalog are available.
A results list includes book cover images (when available) and star ratings. Note: When we looked at results the book covers were not centered correctly in the box where each one appears. Our browser? Maybe.
A "detailed" record looks good with title/author info, a list of consortium libraries with holdings info (including call number), an option to text message and/or email the record, and another option to request the item from another consortium member library (if necessary). A link that allows the user to look at the record in the full WRLC catalog and view subject headings, summaries (if available), table of contents (when available), etc.
This page has a bit more including contact info, a place to share your thoughts about the mobile site, a form to complete for a bug report, and an email address.
Again, to get to Version 1.0 of the mobile version of the WRLC mobile site, head to:
