This is as good as it gets, which is pretty good in my opinion.

Yes, I love C4L too, but
Can/does C4L have players on NISO for example - what is C4L involvement in
standards? Should/could C4L be involved in standards? (And probably
tangentially, is C4L a professional organization?)
Wow, this is turning into another iteration of the library community web

OH NO! (shudder) I’m pretty sure no one is suggesting a formalized c4l AGAIN
- we've been there done that, relatively recently too.
I think what we're talking about is a way to represent c4l interests in
standards making bodies.
And just for my own edification, if you're saying c4l IS
I mean that there are plenty of individuals on the c4l list who are
involved at various levels with various standards bodies, NISO being the
most well represented. I was not referring to the shadowy c4l illuminati
society that controls everything.

My boss has directed me to start looking into producing a phone app for

I can't answer all those questions but a couple useful links:
WeaveUX just published a column on Launching a Native App for libraries
which is probably pertinent.

While you typically do have to use different SDKs and
This is disturbing to me. I thought we had agreed not to mention the C4L

It's perhaps a little bit outdated by now, since things change so fast,
but there is a Code4Lib Journal article on one library's approach a few
years ago, which you may find useful.

Heya,
Lots of good suggestions from everybody in the thread so far. Great resources.
So, I am in the camp that's generally opposed to libraries going the native app
route - unless they already have a solid mobile-first responsive website and
blah blah blah. First thing's first.
I am going to
Before launching into a native app, start with the functional requirements to
see if what you want to accomplish could be done in a well designed mobile web
site, or if you actually need the advanced features that native development
would make available.
For example, there is a _lot_ that you
You don't say what this app is supposed to do, and that might influence your

If you are going to provide services that are on your website, it likely makes
little sense to build apps. Your website looks homegrown, so you might want to
consider using your resources to rebuild it in a
I agree with some here, in the long term, a responsive site is the best bang
for the buck.
However, before our responsive site, we used Library Anywhere for our mobile
app. By LibraryThing, it has customizations, both iOS and Android, and real
time interaction with the catalog.
Lots of good info here, thanks.

That's the idea: make our stuff available through phones.
I am less of a coder myself and more of a lurker, but I'm familiar with the
app development scene for games on mobile phones, and I would suggest
taking a look at http://xamarin.com/, which not only provides a platform
for cross-platform development in C# (code once and it runs on darn near
