Dear Professionals, I am happy inform you all that our University Library Web OPAC has gone the * mobile way*. We have adopted open source library automation system KOHA for all our house keeping activities including OPAC and the same has been made available in cloud hosting environment. Anybody can access our OPAC on *Mobile* at site http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/ To see what it looks like in a mobile phone, please use following site on your desktop/laptop: http://iphonetester.com/?url=http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/ Apple claims to have sold record number of Smart-phones smashing the the record of PC sales. The same has been the fate with Laptops and notebooks. ( http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/smartphone-sales-exceed-those-of-pcs-for... ) Internet access through Mobile has become the order of the day. This being the case, I strongly feel that all of us should go the mobile way for our OPACs. Our patrons can use their mobile for reserving, renewing the documents and all related activities. We are working towards using Mobile SMSs for overdue reminders, informing the availability of reserved documents, documents purchased against requests, broadcasting important library related messages, etc. The automation model we have adopted is *-* Centralised database, decentralised inputting/ housekeeping activities and Universal access to OPAC. Once completed the OPAC will have > 10 Lakh records of documents available in colleges, institutes, PG Centres and various departments, which are directly under the control of Mysore University. We acknowledge OSS Labs, Bangalore for having given quality, timely and cost effective service to us in this matter. Probably ours is the first university library to go mobile way for OPAC (?). Please have a look at it and give your feedback, enabling us to improve the service. Regards, Dr. I.R.N.
