Dewey Decimal Catalogue on a mobile device, like my Personal Digital Organiser (PDA) or WAP device

Just posted this to the British Libary, Have tried Nottinghamshire Country library, but they have no plans. So, dear readers, do any of you passers-by, have any ideas or further reference? Just wondered.

Asking for advice on access to the Dewey Decimal Catalogue on a mobile device, like my Personal Digital Organiser (PDA) or WAP device. I currently get a bus timetable, weather forecast and a number of other services via these means.

I was aware, and took advantage, while on short courses in USA and Europe, that I could access a number of library services by these means.

I thought it unlikely the WAP pages had been developed for these purposes here, but frequently such devices can assess ‘proper’ internet pages, offering database services.

What I have found out so far are:

and

Hampshire Library wap:

Access the Library on your WAP Enabled Mobile Phone

Hampshire County Library has launched the first public library wireless application protocol (WAP) site in the country.

although, not a catalogue yet.

Wondered how far county library, or British Library had got?

A grateful for any help and advice. Regards, Alan Lodge
