What do small screens mean for web development and usability?  The release of the iPhone just 3 years ago ushered in an age of users who want to browse the web on mobile devices.  In this presentation we'll talk about why a mobile site is a good idea, an overview of emerging mobile standards, how to evaluate your own organization's mobile needs, and what options exist for developing a mobile site.  If you have even very basic HTML experience, that's all the background you need!  We'll go step by step through the development of a library mobile site, using UNC Libraries' as an example and highlighting important considerations along the way.

Attendees of this program will:

  • Gain an understanding of design considerations unique to the mobile web
  • Learn the steps involved in developing a mobile site
  • Be able to build a framework of a basic mobile site

Presenter: Chad Haefele, Reference Librarian for Emerging Technologies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
