The Tech Set 12: Building Mobile Library Applications

摘要

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of new technology for libraries to master is the use of mobile technologies. In Building Mobile Library Applications, Jason A. Clark provides a sound overview of the basics for anyone interested in taking their first steps in mobile library applications, including how to build apps, mobile websites and a mobilised library catalogue. After a brief introduction to the development of mobile technologies, he considers the various options available to libraries, setting out clearly the pros and cons of mobile websites, mobile web applications and native applications, describing when each might be the most suitable solution for a library.
