Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) now offers mobile-friendly access to its catalog. Although JCPL’s main site has always been accessible through smart phones, the mobile site has been specially formatted to allow Library patrons to more easily search the Library’s 1.3 million items and view their Library account. Officially supported phones include the iPhone®, BlackBerry® Storm™, BlackBerry® Bold™ and the DROID™.

“With more people getting information through smart phones, we felt it was imperative to enable our patrons to quickly view their library account and search the catalog on these devices,” said Marcellus Turner, executive director of JCPL. “We are committed to providing accessibility to our vast array of resources and this is just one more way we’re doing so.”

Accessing the mobile catalog is easy. Patrons can simply visit m.jefferson.lib.co.us to search the catalog, view their library account, place holds and renew materials. The mobile site also contains basic information on each of JCPL’s 10 locations and the Bookmobile. The mobile site can also be accessed by visiting the main library website and looking for the Go Mobile! link.
