I thought this might be of interest to the list: Axiell is developing new software which will allow library patrons to visit libraries online via their iPhone or Android-based device. Axiell conceived the application in conjunction with BridgeIT, a Danish mobile software development specialist. BridgeIT has particular expertise in the field of mobile solutions, with emphasis on development for several mobile platforms simultaneously. In the library sector patrons will be able to search the library’s catalogue, receive updates on the items they borrowed and return dates, and to check whether they have any reservations or fines. The new technology interacts seamlessly with Axiell Arena, the 24-hour virtual library portal that keeps track of patrons’ interests. The UK market will have access to the application in the second quarter of this year. Patrons will be able to use Axiell Arena via the mobile application to open the door to the virtual library, regardless of time and place. This places libraries at the cutting edge of technological development, enables them to offer a raft of new services and creates a platform for reaching new patrons http://www.axiell.co.uk/ Apologies for cross-posting
