An intern and a core group of individuals with common understanding of the goals and needs undertook the development process, starting with the recognition that a library's mobile site should and could not replicate the full content of the existing website. They focused on basic library information, library catalog search, and an instant messaging link to the reference desk. Developers adopted packaged mobile frameworks to first create a simple static mobile site and subsequently took the further step to develop a dynamic library app, distributable through an app market. The app design supported expanded features and functionality, including an interactive library map and QR code scanner. The Burritt Library experience illustrates important lessons about the process and that, with determination and a modicum of skills, developing a mobile website and app is achievable and timely. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
