Library Mobile Site

The mobile library website provides a wealth of information for the user. I definitely would use it in the future to look up books or computers. I used a Blackberry and everything was really straightforward and user friendly on the site. The link titles all made sense – sometimes there will be a link to a sub page that you’re not quite sure where it will lead you. I don’t feel that anything was left out in regards to what information is available. The site loaded quickly and was easy to navigate. I particularly like the fact that one can look up what computers are available as well as the floor maps. I am forever wandering around the library looking for a particular section in the general collection and a mobile map is so helpful. However, if I hadn’t taken this course I wouldn’t be aware of what the library of congress classification system is and therefore would not have chosen that particular link in order to find where to go. As for the computer availability, I like that you can see how many but it would be even more beneficial if you could see where. The site was visually appealing and there wasn’t anything that particularly bothered me. There was enough information provided for a mobile site especially because links to the UNCW and full library website are at the bottom. I followed those links and the mobile site is very well done, much more appealing and user friendly.
