U.Va. LIBRARY MOBILE WEB SITE
In an effort to expand access to online resources and services, the U.Va. Library has released an updated version of the library's website that is optimized for handheld, web-enabled mobile phones and devices.

This web application now supports a broad range of mobile devices (including iPhones, I Touch, etc.), and offers "single search" discovery within the library's collections and article databases. You can also check for library hours, access a searchable staff directory, and get news feeds.
