Research Databases- Mobile Interfaces

Internet-enabled cellphones (also known as "smartphones") allow users to access to online resources like library research databases from anywhere. With this in mind, some of the publishers of our research databases automatically recognize when users with smartphones access their services and automatically redirect them to web pages that are easy to use with these devices. Other publishers are creating applications for smart phones that provide users with direct access to their database resources. These mobile interfaces provide users with access to the same high-quality resources right in the palm of your hand just as if you were sitting infront of a computer workstation.

Specific examples of research databases with mobile interfaces includes:

• Gale's AccessMyLibrary (AML) has two moblie applications available. AML School Edition provides students with access to all of the Gale databases that are available through their school library. AML Public Edition provides access to the Gale databases that are available at their local public library.
• EBSCOhost Mobile is tailor-made application that delivers smaller screens for mobile devices.
• Rosen's Teen Health & Wellness has optimized their site for smartphones so that users can connect anytime from anywhere to get access to their resources.

Whether you are accessing information from a computer workstation or from a smartphone, please be good Internet citizens and practice Internet safety. Students are reminded about the personal digital accessory and the acceptable use policies at school. The purpose of this page is to inform students about different ways they can access high-quality library resources, not to encourage students to violate these and related school policies.
