Wendy's iPhone Thoughts has a post today on using library search tools via the iPhone (not just any library tools--the Penn State web page and The CAT!)
A little backstory...there are several people in ITS at Penn State charged with seeing how the iPhone can be used in an academic environment. You can see a combined feed of all of their respective iPhone blogs here.
Wendy's report on what worked is interesting. Primarily, though it made me excited for the future and technology that will allow you to look up books, check call numbers, etc... while you are in the midst of browsing in the stacks. Portable, web-based technology is going to do tremendous things for some of the accessibility and wayfinding issues faced by large academic libraries.
Woo! I'm glad to read this and to hear that things work pretty well in the iPhone environment. I've been wondering...
Hmmm...I wonder if we could get a test iPhone to do some more extensive testing of how library resources work for the iPhone...
