The Libraries are proud to announce that our users can now access the online catalog from their smartphones. Our tech gurus have developed a site that’s much more phone-friendly and will allow you to answer a number of library-related questions on the go just by bookmarking this site: http://vaslibmobile.vassar.edu/. If you REALLY love the library, you could even make it your phone’s home page! Below are just a couple of the queries you could query for immediate satisfaction.

Query: Does the library have a copy of Dave Egger’s Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius?

Answer: Why, yes! And it’s available!

How about something more personal, like: I think I have a few books that are waaaay overdue. I wonder if I can renew using my phone.

Answer: Yes, indeed! Just click on the “My Account” button, log in using either your email i.d. or your barcode, and voila!

Of course, this site doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of our full online catalog or our homepage, but it will get you some quick answers when you’re out and about or even just wandering through the stacks wondering if you have the right call number. So, bookmark it today and enjoy!
