The
MIT Press Announces Mobile Version of Journals Website
The
MIT Press is pleased to announce that the website of its
Journals division, mitpressjournals.org,
is now optimized for use on mobile devices. This beta mobile
version is compatible with the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android
devices. All regular article content from the full site is
available through the mobile version, as well as the content
within our Just Accepted and Early Access programs.
Article
content, which largely consists of files in PDF format, will be
broken into regions, which render better on small devices. On
larger tablets, such as the iPad, the articles will appear as
full PDFs. Selected titles are already available in full text
HTML and more titles will be available in that format in the
near future. “The number of users accessing our articles via
mobile devices is growing exponentially,” says Nick Lindsay,
Journals Director for the MIT Press. “We’re thrilled to be able
to offer a well-optimized site for those readers.”
Subscribers
are encouraged to sign in through their user accounts and
experience the mobile-optimized site for themselves. Users
operating beneath the umbrella of a campus library subscription
can access the mobile site seamlessly through their
institution’s network. Non-subscribers are encouraged to browse
free content. The site is still in beta and we welcome feedback
from all users; comments regarding the mobile site can be
submitted through the online contact form. For assistance with
accessing your user account, please contact our customer service
team at journals-access@mit.edu.
