Amy,
We were in the same boat -- III library, interest in a mobile catalog,
didn't want to pay III for AirPAC -- last year. We wound up rolling
out VuFind as our "beta catalog" this year, which got us a mobile
catalog as part of the package -- as of version 1.0 VuFind has a
mobile interface. If yo
Hey Amy and all,
We're a III camp here at UC San Diego too, and have been beta partners/guinea
pigs for LibraryThing's mobile catalog development:

It's showing a good deal of promise so far- hit me up off list
Hi everybody,
Here at SF State we've been working with David Walker at the Cal State
Chancellor's office to use his Xerxes service for a mobile search
interface of our III catalog. You can take a look at m.library.sfsu.edu.
It's not "live" yet, but is close. The major bit still left to finish
Greetings all,
I'd like to offer my enthusiastic help to any libraries taking the
Mobilecat plunge. The more live catalogs that we have, the better
refined I can make the project. I've been contributing to the project
quite a bit in the past few months, and launched our instance at

I am a student at Simmons College, studying library science. Because I am
taking a course about IT in the library, I recently subscribed to
the “Code4Lib” listserv. I am a newbie on the list, and a fairly new librarian,
but I am really enjoying (and I hope benefiting from) the discussion so far.
Hi Amy - We're in the same boat. Another library that's provided their
coding is the University of San Francisco.Links to both the USF and the
Tri-Colleges mobile code can be found in the Innovative Users Group
Clearinghouse. You will need an IUG login/password to access the

Not specific to III, so missing the hold/account functionality, but also free

I've been pretty happy with the results we were able to get with a home-grown
mobile catalog. It's not a "product" that one could install (though I'd be
happy to share our code, much of which would likely work out well.)
Basically, my approach was to write mobile stylesheets that kill a lot of t
We are researching possibilities for a mobile version of our III catalog and
are wondering what success people have had.
Right now our list of possible solutions include:
- AirPac from III - does anyone have any feedback on this product?
- MobileCat from the Tri-College Libraries
