  • This is a native iPad app for DSpace 7 repositories, built using the new version of the REST API. The app also runs on iPhones, but this is not recommended for most use cases because of the difficulty inherent in reading formatted academic articles on small phone screens. The app allows repository users to browse, search, and download content, and repository administrators to submit and edit repository content. Because of the connectivity challenges inherent with mobile devices, the app was designed so that some of the work can be done while users are offline. This app is unofficial and is intended only as a supplement to the spiffy, official and feature-complete Angular UI which will be preferred by most users. This app is bound to be a niche product, because most users find our repositories by way of search hits from Google that link directly to articles, but I believe that some users will enjoy the intimacy and speed of a native mobile app for interacting with repositories, and I am eager to present this poster.
