How Libraries are going mobile: To App or not to App? A recent article from the Chronicle of Higher Education states: …colleges are shifting their attention from stand-alone applications that can be downloaded from an app store to mobile-optimized versions of their Web sites.Chronicle of Higher Education There are two goals, one is for library web pages to have a single source that adapts to the particular device - it is called responsive design. The 2 nd goal is to have appropriate features; the desktop experience might have more functionality, the mobile one less functionality based on the particular application. It is really about the applications responding to the devices while also getting the efficiency of single sourcing. -- Mark Dehmlow Head, Web and Information Technology Systems Department, University of Notre Dame Hesburgh Libraries

How else can academic libraries support content on mobile devices? Include mobile information literacy skills in standard library instruction Support Metasearch or other unified resource discovery tools on library mobile websites that search more than one database at a time http://xerxes.library.nd.edu.proxy.library.nd.edu/quicksearch/databases/s ubject/computer-engineering http://xerxes.library.nd.edu.proxy.library.nd.edu/quicksearch/databases/s ubject/computer-engineering Seek support from database vendors for searching using mobile devices Construct LibGuides and other helpful tools. WPI has a Libguide for Research Apps: http://libguides.wpi.edu/content.php?pid=116812&sid=2530434
