It became obvious that a streamlined version of Cambridge Journals Online (CJO) could be welcomed by both mobile users and researchers struggling with low bandwidth. With this in mind, we launched our mobile site in October 2010.<\/p>\n<p>There were two potential routes to market with <a title=\"CJOm\" href=\"http:\/\/journals.cambridge.org\/action\/stream?pageId=6248&amp;level=2&amp;sessionId=0C17477BBDCCCA4C5BDF3798BFB65417.journals\" target=\"_blank\">Cambridge Journals Online Mobile (CJOm)<\/a> \u2013 a native application, such as an iPhone app, or a mobile version of CJO. Because we didn\u2019t want to exclude any device, and because we wanted CJOm to double as a low bandwidth site, we eliminated the app option early on. The project then focussed on building a site with few images and the minimum of text, to make it as fast as possible. CJOm also had to integrate seamlessly with CJO, so that searches and bookmarks could be saved and available from both. Finally, the user needed the option to log-in to their institution\u2019s subscriptions, either via Wi-Fi, or using the \u2018Shibboleth\u2019 authentication system.<\/p>\n<p>In the event, creating the streamlined site was the easier task \u2013 CJOm was rapid and easy to navigate from early testing \u2013 whereas the facility to log in to institutional resources took longer to create. 18 months since launch, CJOm is working as planned, the number of mobile visits has increased again and we have received a good deal of positive feedback from academics and librarians. Our charity partners, who facilitate developing country access, are particularly enthusiastic about the potential of CJOm.<\/p>\n<p>Recently we\u2019ve been busy working on the next phases of CJOm development and we\u2019ll be posting more details about these on this blog in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since the first academic journals went online back in 1996, our readers, and our librarian colleagues who enable access, have expected us to keep up with the pace of changing technology.
