Re: [IUG] AirPac and Mobile
[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]
My understanding is that there is regular Airpac, which works on any phone, and then if you are running Mil 2009 (forget which version) Airpac for smartphones is included in that as well (obviously it only works if you are on release 2009 AND have paid for Airpac).
We are in the process of implementing Airpac; the regular version is live, and in a month or so we'll have upgraded to 2009 so we can have the pretty version.

OK. This just got interesting. Am I to understand that there is an
AirPAC, an AirPAC classic, and an AirPAC for smartphones?!?!? I think I
need an education. I'm just looking for clarification.
I visited 5 different AirPAC sites (I think they were all airpac) this
morning with an IPOD touch and only 2 of them gave me what appeared to
be a mobile device interface. The sites that I visited are as follows:
These sites gave me a mobile device interface:
===================================================
Wayne State University http://elibrary.wayne.edu:91/
University of San Diege http://mobilesally.sandiego.edu/
These did not:(there were as tiny as any other website)

East Tennessee State http://libraries.etsu.edu/airpac/
Virginia Tech http://addison.vt.edu:6060/airpac/
