In this study, the mobile web of Fu Jen Catholic University Library has been developed and evaluated since the
end of 2014. Students’ perceptions of and reflections on various aspects of using the library mobile web were
gathered through the usability test. Reactions to the system interface, function, and content organization, and openended
reflections on the system were also obtained. Analysis of the usability test results indicated that the students
performed better using the library mobile web, accomplishing the search tasks more efficiently and effectively. Most
students thought the mobile website provided a well-designed interface and that the well-organized content allowed
them to read easily and clearly, and reduced the inconvenience of zooming in and out to access the content.
However, additional functions for adapting different user needs should also be considered in future implementations.
The use of a mobile web of the library is aimed to make library information more accessible for mobile device users.
It is expected that through the library mobile web, students can benefit from the abundant resources of the library. A
ubiquitous learning environment can be provided to students to fulfill their academic and leisure needs for accessing
resources from the library. It is also hoped that this study might provide valuable references and indicators for future
implementation and evaluation of a library mobile web
information provided through a traditional website is too complex to be browsed with a mobile device, and users may also
encounter some technical limits. Websites developed for mobile devices might overcome users’ difficulties when reading heavily
from traditional web pages. Mobile web helps overcome difficulties in searching for needed information and makes information
more accessible. For any library, especially university libraries, developing mobile websites is becoming a necessary trend to
satisfy users’ mobile needs of exploring the world of knowledge. This study provides experiences of developing a mobile web for
the academic library. Users’ applications and reactions to the system are analyzed and summarized. Technological and
implementation issues related to the construction of a library mobile web are discussed. Implications of the study results might
provide valuable information for promoting a ubiquitous library service and information access
