  24. 24. General trend: More stuff in the mobile site The library mobile sites are now showing more information beyond library hours, location, and contact us. While this type of basic information appeared as primary tasks before, now search and research, library resource use is appearing to be more of primary tasks on a library mobile website. `(e.g. Libguides, Books, Articles, Course Reserves, Databases, etc.) A search box is starting to appear on a mobile website homepage. Additional features are being added to the mobile site such as an library account transaction (e.g. item renewal) and course reserves. Study room reservation, computer availability information are offered in some mobile sites.
  25. 25. Looking back at some of thetips 2 years ago … Environmental scan - OK Target audience - YES  Primary tasks & user needs /expectations  Marketing No longer true  Mobile devices’ constraints and slow networks  Focus on users’ information needs on the go  A companion site with less features and content

User Behavior on the Mobile Motivation: Micro-task, Bored, Local Source: Josh Clark, Tapworthy (2010) Ch. 2. Edit/Create (urgent change/micro-tasking) : I need to get some-thing done now that can’t wait. Lookup/Find (urgent info, local) : I need an answer to some-thing now - frequently related to my current location in the world. Explore/Play (bored, local) : I have some time to kill and just want a few idle time distractions. Check In/Status (repeat/micro-tasking): Something important to me keeps changing or updating and I want to stay on top of it.

  30. 30. Don’t dumb things downon the mobile“ There are, of course, differences based on mobile and desktop usage patterns; but the core value of a web service remains the same across both formats and beyond. In fact, you’ll quickly find your customers will expect to do just about everything (within reason) on mobile. Especially those who primarily (or only) use their mobiles to get online. So don’t dumb things down on mobile—focus on what really matters most anywhere people can access your website.Source: Luke Wroblewski, Mobile First (2011) p.22.

  36. 36. Make it easyto discover first… Make the Mobile site link on your library homepage more prominent. Footer = a good location. If you use an icon, make sure the meaning is obvious. Add the auto-redirect to the mobile site when a user visits the Desktop site on a mobile device. Make discovery happen when a user is on a mobile device and accessing the library online.
