Presentation will include fail-points to use as well as unexpected use. Discussion of frequently searched for terms as well as the significance of user context will be included. Tentative ideas for apps to develop as a result of student search data will be discussed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>&#8220;Putting the fun back in mobile websites:  launching an OS book recommender&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; Evviva Weinraub &amp; Hannah Rempel (Oregon State University)<\/span><br \/>\n: Building  on the success of our mobile site, including a fully  mobile catalog,  and our well received historical walking tour, Beaver  Tracks, OSU  Libraries Mobile Team went looking for a fun project to  work on.\u00c2\u00a0  Recognizing that many students (not to mention faculty, staff  and our  own librarians) often want diversionary reading, we began  working on an  open source mobile book recommender tool. We  will  describe how we selected the content to include in our book  recommender  database, some details of how the book recommender tool was  built, the  process of choosing a design, and a demonstration of the  features of  the book recommender tool. \u00c2\u00a0Our planned go live date is  January 7,  2011.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>&#8220;Creating a mobile site with zero budget&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; Tiffani Travis (California State University)<\/span><br \/>\n: Is there a simple way to connect users to vital library info and links to mobile versions of products other than creating a full-blown mobile website? This presentation will share the experience of quickly creating a &#8220;free&#8221; mobile site using LibGuides and WordPress, both of which auto-format their sites for smart phones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">&#8220;Brainstorming ideas about great library-centric apps&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n: This will be a brainstorming session for library-centric mobile apps that go beyond searching the catalog or looking up building hours. How can we leverage the existence of the mobile platform to provide a truly transformative experience of the library? \u00c2\u00a0Your input may be used to inform suggested development tasks for the competition and overall guidelines to the &#8220;Apps for Libraries&#8221; development competition planned by Tod Colegrove (University of Nevada, Reno).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">&#8220;Mobile usability and assessment&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n: Has anyone done or is anyone planning to do a usability study or assessments and also the accessibility (for people with disabilities) for a library\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mobile website or apps? We will discuss also how we can measure success in regard to the mobile web (e.g. feedback, environmental scanning, survey, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am very excited about the LITA Mobile Computing IG Meeting at ALA Midwinter 2011.
