New Mobile Options for UNC Libraries

Users of mobile phones, Blackberries, and similar devices now have access to UNC Library collections and services with two sites designed just for them:

-- Mobile UNC Library site
-- For Blackberry and plain-text

The mobile sites provide access to books, journals, research tools, and, of course, librarians in a format specially designed for on-the-go research.

Site features include mobile-friendly access to:

-- Library hours and contact information
-- Online catalog
-- IM and text connections to librarians
-- Research tools including the RefWorks bibliographic management program and the PubMed database from the National Library of Medicine

The Library is eager to receive feedback on the mobile sites. Contact Chad Haefele, Davis Library Reference Department, to ask questions or share suggestions.
