Nucsoft OSS Labs mentioned at KohaCon 2012 that they're commissioned to write a Mobile OPAC for one of their customers. Hopefully one of their team can provide some more details on what this will entail.
BibLibre also indicated they were working on a mobile CSS. Two different ByWater partners have also expressed interest in making this happen. I think what needs to happen next is the community needs to get together and come up with a list of features and design styles that should make up a Mobile OPAC, and put together a implementation plan on which to do first. If we have a unified specification out there, all these different parties can work together towards the same goal, rather than having half a dozen different implementations floating around out there. Some questions to ask: - CSS-based, or a new template? - What features first? Search and biblio details seem obvious. What about user logged-in features? - Specific features for mobiles, like integration with GPS, compass, accelerometer and camera? This may require OS-specific apps, but would make the model tool that much more appealing Cheers, -Ian On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 8:17 PM, Liz Rea <[email protected]> wrote: > Take it and run! > > :) > > > On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 5:19 PM, Adalid Ortiz <[email protected]> wrote: > > OK, maybe like this one? > > > http://www.amzari.com/v3/2011/04/mobile-opac-based-on-koha-open-source-ils/ > > > > Felipe Adalid Ortiz Anzaldo > > Bibliotecario de sistemas > > Universidad Iberoamericana Tijuana > > Biblioteca Loyola > > http://clavius.tij.uia.mx > > Ave. Centro Universitario 2501 > > Playas de Tijuana > > 22200, Tijuana, B.C. > > 0 664 630-1577 Ext. 623 > > [email protected] > > _______________________________________________ > > Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org > > [email protected] > > http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha > > > _______________________________________________ > Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org > [email protected] > http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha > -- Ian Walls Lead Development Specialist ByWater Solutions Phone # (888) 900-8944 http://bywatersolutions.com [email protected] Twitter: @sekjal
