Re: [CODE4LIB] mobile app

2013-07-03 Thread William Helman 
Hi Kalie,

Two of my graduate assistants and I recently developed a user-centered mobile
web app/interface  for our library. We spent
a lot of time doing focus groups and user testing over the course of two
semesters worth of development time, and have been pretty happy with the
results. One suggestion I would definitely have is to use a web framework
like jQuery Mobile  or
Bootstrapto jump start
your efforts. Then, later when you have everything the way
you want it, you can use a service like PhoneGap  to
wrap it up into native apps you can offer on Google Play or Apple's App
Store.

If you're interested I've presented a few times on it during the lifetime
of the project, and have the (slightly similar) slide decks posted to
SlideShare: Society for Scholarly Publishing 2011 Fall
Seminar,
Internet Librarian
2012
and
recently at an Amigos Online
conference.
That last one was on how we used responsive design techniques to re-purpose
our mobile site to act as the interface on 3 iPad search kiosks I've
installed here at Langsdale.

I've also published our code at https://github.com/whelman/

I'd be happy to talk more about our experiences, just send me an email if
you're interested.
