    It would be good to have a global webcast conference on m-libraries in the upcoming year.

    Hi there, I won’t be able to attend the pre-conference workshop but would be interested in feedback from people on how mobile can help deliver content from digitised collections in innovative and imaginative ways either as way to enhance teaching and learning or to promote an institution’s assets, such as special and unique collections – and the challenges too.

    Good examples of this are the SCARLET project (Special Collections using Augmented Reality to Enhance Learning and Teaching, blog at http://teamscarlet.wordpress.com/) or from the commercial sector the work of Touch Press on apps such as The Waste Land http://www.touchpress.com/titles/thewasteland/ and Shakespeare’s Sonnets http://www.touchpress.com/titles/shakespeares-sonnets/.

    The JISC Content portal http://www.jisc-content.ac.uk provides examples of collections that have been digitised with support from JISC.

    Usability and User Experience

    A responsive website that ‘saves state’ so that if you are logged in, you can move between devices halfway through a session of browsing.

    • The requirement for this is supported by Google’s recent “Multi-screen world” report, which states that “90% of consumers begin a task on one device and then complete it on another device. Smartphones are by far the most common starting point for this sequential activity“.
