CamLib, a new mobile interface for Cambridge Libraries

Cambridge University Library would like to announce the Beta launch of CamLib, a new mobile interface for Cambridge Libraries.

The interface itself can be found at:
http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/mob/camlib.cgi

Information can be found at: http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/toolbox/camlib.html

We have also added it as an option on the Newton home page (last item on list) at: http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/newton/

It has been tested for iPhone, iPod Touch and Android mobile devices (apparently it's also working on Opera Mini browser on Blackberry). You can also try it out on a normal computer - you just have to imagine everything being squashed together on a much smaller screen!

CamLib replicates the functionality of the Cambridge Libraries Widget with some new mobile-specific functionality - outlined in this blog post:

It's still a work in progress, so any feedback or suggestions (particularly bug reports) would be very welcome to Huw Jones at hej23@cam.ac.uk.
