Sounds like a fun event. What does the $25 registration fee cover?

Ah, did you find docs in the SS Support Center that cover how to access
the API and what it's functionalty is? Have any direct links to such?
Yeah, last time I asked SerSol (a couple years ago), the XML data
service was all that was available -- and not only does it cost extra,

Ooooh, exciting!
I think the middle layout (768px xwidth 1020px) needs some love (the
right-hand box deforms pretty severely, and parts of the content of the
center top box are obscured due to non-resizing form controls), but
overall, nice work!
If you feel like it, I'd love to hear more about
Very cool--congratulations!
In addition to Dave's questions, I'd be curious to know (can't see it since
I don't have a login) how you handled directing people to databases that
have mobile versions. This is something I've been wondering about for our
site down the road and library sites in
Sarah asks about how to direct users to mobile versions of databases where
appropriate.
The way I'm doing it is:
1. All database links are served up from a database table, so the link on our
website is http://$OUR_LIBRARY/redirect?$db_id
2. The db-of-dbs knows if there is a mobile specific
What method do you use to detect mobile-or-not?

I'd be curious to hear the response to Jonathan's question. For the
longest time, I used to determine mobile displays by browser, but it
just got too cluttered. Now I detect browser width to determine
mobile versions. This little trick doesn't play nice with all
frameworks, however, so it's
Ah, but this still doesn't answer my question on your part, Mark!
How do you detect browser width, especially on the server-side?
If it's with Javascript... the method Ken describes, it's not clear to
me how javascript logic could get in there exactly.
Thus my question.

I use the PHP code from: http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/

I don't want to do the registration just to see how it works... but I
assume it's doing user-agent detection?
Have you had issues with newly invented mobile browsers not being
caught, do you ever update your PHP script with a new updated copy from
teh author or anything?

The code I'm using (on the server side) is based on the
$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] variable -- the providers of the code have gone to
a bunch of trouble to parse user agents and discern whether or not they count
as mobile devices. It is decidedly imperfect, but it does a good job at least

Hi Dave!
Good point about the middle sizes. Trying to get content to look good at
every conceivable size is the really hard part of responsive design.
The site is based on Twitter Bootstraphttp://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/,
and I mostly stuck with the breakpoints that they had
Hi Mark,
Not using a CMS at this point, but I did use Twitter
Bootstraphttp://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/.
So there's no browser detection, just media queries on width.

I stumbled upon the conference publication [1] from a conference at U

excellent, but it has an entire chapter on librarians and computers. In
fact, I don't think that chapter got it quite right, and I'm thinking
