Pollak Library Blog (mobile)

Do you have a web-enabled smart phone?

The Pollak Library now delivers our news in a more mobile-friendly way.

Both the Pollak Library Blog (news, tips and reviews) and our Library Alerts (systems and facilities alerts) get published in a format that allows you to:

  • Peruse library headlines on your phone.
  • Read full blog posts on your phone.
  • Post a comment from your phone.
  • Tweet, email or bookmark selected blog posts.
  • Switch between the regular web version of the mobile version.

The new mobile format works on most phones.

QR Code - Library Blog

QR Code for the Library Blog

If you have a web-enabled mobile phone with a QR Code Reader, point your phone’s camera at either of these QR codes to go directly to our mobile blog or alerts.

What are QR Codes?

QR Codes are two-dimensional barcodes which can be scanned by a cell phone camera prompting the cell phone to load a webpage URL, display text, call a phone number, or send a text message that is encoded in the QR code.

Nice plugins!!! may I know what plug-in did you use to become a mobile enabled website.

Is it easy to customize ? Or is it not allowed

It’s great that your site is mobile friendly since so many students use a smart phone now and surf on them; it’s basically a way of life for most young people.
