FIU libraries now go where you go

Search the catalog, get help from a librarian or view hours from any smart phone with the FIU library’s new mobile site. When users visit library.fiu.edu on their mobile phone, they will be taken to the mobile site.

Designed to resemble the university’s mobile site for a seamless mobile-web user experience, the library’s site offers a scaled-down, quick look at the catalog that searches for books at Modesto A. Maidique Campus and Biscayne Bay Campus. Users also have access to course reserves, journals and even full-text articles.

“Technology has liberated libraries from the confines of their buildings, and the future of libraries depends on our ability to deliver content and services to mobile devices, said Laura Probst, dean of FIU libraries.

“While we have been delivering content to the desktop for years, I am pleased that the FIU libraries have now gone mobile.”
