Mobile Technology for Library Searches.

Mark Andy West et al, in their article "Expanding Access to Library Collections and Services using Small Screens", highlights the use of the BSUL's mobile technology to do journal and catalog searches.

Their CardCat Mobile app allows students and faculty to search for an author, a title or a subject from their hand-held device. CardCat Mobile displays book information like location, call number, and availability for each result revealed by the search.
