  • Mobile Applications

    -1

    Find health and social care information to use on your smartphone or tablet. Search for apps and mobile websites from suppliers including Ebsco, SIGN, Oxford University Press and BNF in our new Mobile Knowledge area.

    Mobile apps are downloaded on to your device and can then usually work offline (without being connected to the internet). Apps can also take advantage of features on your device like cameras or sound recorders. These tools are developed for specific devices so you may find that one has been created for the iPhone but not the Blackberry or vice-versa.

    A mobile website is accessed via your mobile device’s web browser so needs an internet connection. These can normally be accessed by any type of smartphone or tablet. Some websites will have a different URL or web address for their mobile site, on others the site will detect your device and display a special optmised version.
