Wiley-Blackwell Mobile Applications (19 . 01 . 2011)

Wiley-Blackwell is launching new mobile applications for selected health science journals, accessible via iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Symbian, PalmOS, and WAP devices.

The applications, which will be freely available, will allow for the mobile delivery of title and abstract listings of articles with a feature that will enable users to create a 'reading list' of desired full-text articles, available from the user's desktop computer through Wiley Online Library. The apps will provide the full-text of a selection of articles, and mobile content will be pushed to the mobile application as it is added to Wiley Online Library. Additional features include listings of upcoming events, society news, and publication information.

The apps will deliver content for a variety of health science subjects including academic emergency medicine, cancer, cardiology, epilepsy, transplantation, rheumatology, sexual medicine, and hospital medicine.

The first application to be launched is for the American Journal of Transplantation (AJT). Users will have real-time access to article abstracts, The AJT Report, and news and information from the field. Users can create reading lists tailored to their own interests and customise the app through 'My Feeds' with other relevant information. This content can then be shared via email or through social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. The AJT app can be downloaded for any mobile device.

An initiative of the IUA Librarians

I think IReL is a huge joint achievement of the HEA, IUA & SFI and in particular the libraries of the institutions involved.
