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 is on our end, making the Request item process more usable on mobile devices. For that we're writing some custom javascript / css. This should all be resolved in a week or so. By the way, the same Xerxes service provides mobile search to almost 100 of our databases.
