At the Cal State Fullerton Pollak Library we recently launched a mobile version of our website to accommodate the needs of our burgeoning mobile user group. This presentation will focus on our process of conceptualizing, building and deploying the mobile version of our website. It will highlight the development process, from reviewing and understanding existing user needs, to translating that into meaningful mobile web applications. A virtual tour of our site will be provided, including a demonstration of our use of the Worldcat API via Xerxes.

This online Pecha Kucha will be a lively, fast paced event based on the 20X20 concept – each speaker will use 20 slides/images that will be advanced every 20 seconds, giving each presenter 6 minutes and 40 seconds to address the topic from their unique expert perspective. This event will be creative and exciting.

“Pecha Kucha” is Japanese for the sound of conversation and represents a fast-paced series of presentations. At the conclusion of the pecha kucha, we will ask for your vote on the most effective PK and the winner will be interviewed for a podcast, featured on the Handheld Librarian website.
