Following on from my post about my mobile library catalogue the other week, I had comments that some screenshots may be nice. Now I warn you, it ain’t pretty. Being a catalogue for a mobile device, my entire aim was to make it:
a) fit on a small screen
b) resize if they had a larger screen
c) use very little bandwidth (which ain’t cheap in Australia for mobile devices)

Problems I am having are mostly resulting in ‘set’ code from our library management system. Code is spat out of the system that I cannot change (ie on the patron details page, I cannot change the default text that is generated).


1. Search window


2. Results window


3. Availability window


4. Customer details window
