  15. Native App Difficulties – for dedicated users only • Massive OS discrepancies – heavy Apple weighting • On campus access only • App only allows searching, not access (to avoid authentication issues) • Institutional email must be accessible from device • Time-limited tokens • Personal profile on site needed • Legibility issues – in design and fulltext • User would need to know the resource and its content very well • Publishers don’t make money on these – future implications

  17. Native Apps Discovery NOT Delivery Open University Project: most users don’t want to read fulltext on their devices [source]

  18. The Vendors’ View “We’re not going to bother with apps, we’re going concentrate on mobile site accessibility. They’re quick, they’re clean and your users don’t need to do anything different”
