Mobile Site Generator

Chad Haefele, Reference Librarian for Emerging Technologies at Davis Library at UNC-Chapel Hill has released a great tool for mobilizing your website: The Mobile Site Generator. From his blog, Hidden Peanuts:

…while I’ve seen a lot of talk about mobile sites for libraries, I don’t see nearly as many actually implementing them. I think a lot of librarians are intimidated. But IUI’s code is actually so simple that I was able to automate its creation! The Mobile Site Generator will hopefully help people over the first hurdle: it creates a framework for a mobile site that you can then tweak & customize to you heart’s content.

Chad’s responsible for UNC library’s awesome mobile site, so he knows a thing or two about creating a mobile site. If you’ve been considering finding a way to mobilize your site, you could do a lot worse than take a half hour and give this a try.
