Subject: Using a tablet computer to access a catalogue
Hello,
Does anyone have any information on the positioning and use of a tablet computer to access a library catalogue?
The proposal is to trial a couple of tablets on the pillars at the end of the library shelves for easy searching. The catalogue can still be searched from standard computers around the library, so this is seen as an enhancement not a replacement. They are intending to set the tablet at an angle (presumably sloping back not forward!) and I've been asked to offer advice on the height. I think there is rather more to this than height - such as a knee space, flexibility of positioning (maybe using a flexible arm), access for short people and tall people, somewhere to rest the wrist to avoid intention tremor...
Any thoughts, or possibly design guidance I can quote, please?
Many thanks
