> * mobile way*.  We
> have adopted open source library automation system KOHA for all our house
> keeping activities
> including OPAC and the same has been made available in cloud hosting
> environment. Anybody
> can access our  OPAC on *Mobile* at  site
> http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/

> Internet access through Mobile has become the order of the day.  This being
> the case, I strongly feel that all of us
> should go the mobile way for our OPACs.
>
> Our patrons can use their mobile for reserving, renewing the documents and
> all related activities.
> We are working towards using Mobile SMSs for overdue reminders, informing
> the availability of
> reserved documents, documents purchased against requests, broadcasting
> important library
> related messages, etc.
>
> The automation model we have adopted is *-*  Centralised database,
> decentralised inputting/
> housekeeping activities and Universal access to OPAC. Once completed the
> OPAC will
> have > 10 Lakh records of documents available in colleges, institutes, PG
> Centres and various
> departments, which are directly under the control of Mysore University.
>
> We acknowledge OSS Labs, Bangalore for having  given quality, timely and
> cost effective service to us
> in this matter. Probably ours is the first university library to go mobile
> way for OPAC (?).  Please have a
>  look at it and give your feedback, enabling us to improve the service.
