Just a few notes if anyone is interested:
- digital collections tool: wolf walk, digital images
- geolocation using JavaScript to make it availble in HTML5
- find it easier in app store, means more people use app
- HTML5 more clunky with jQuery mobile
- native app smoother, especially Google Maps
- mobile site: only force on homepage and opt out using query string
- mobile app/site needs to be interoperable
- designing: mobile framework better at bringing out ideas vs. developing web version of a website
- how do you build up services? concentrate on what is needed on mobile devices
- should have just what you need and do it well while taking advantage of mobile aspects e.g. bluetooth, GPS
- how best to build?: REST layer on top of what’s available
- time resource: if know objective C, then just adding functions
- voice use: comfort level? accurate enough? difficulty with quiet/study areas/floors?
- phone tap to reserve seats/room, other application?
- staff use in stacks? Shelflister: barcode scanner inserts into web form for shelf reading or collection development, including circulation data
- mobile hours: just give today’s hours or closed (give tomorrow’s hours)
