Apple’s iPhone has generated a great amount of interest on university campuses. UB is working hard to maximize the benefits of the iPhone for members of the UB community who choose to use the iPhone.

This summer, the UB Libraries has created a version of its website specifically for the iPhone, http://library.buffalo.edu on the phone or http://library.buffalo.edu/libraries/iphone on other platforms. When you browse to the UB Libraries website from an iPhone and iPod Touch, a pop-up message allows you to choose the iPhone-enabled version of our website.

The site offers links to library hours & locations, library research material, staff directory and many other useful links. The site was developed by Kris Miller of the UB Libraries.

If you have ideas for additional iPhone site content, please contact us.

Transforming Scholarly Communication & Publishing – Today, scholars, publishers and librarians are developing alternative models and initiatives to traditional print-subscriber publishing systems. The University at Buffalo community supports and contributes to the transforming of scholarly communication and publishing. The UB Libraries Scholarly Communication website is intended to inform our community of developments and emerging models for the creation, sharing, publishing, and archiving of scholarship. We will regularly update the site with information about developing issues, policy debates, tools you can use, and proposed models.
