AirPAC includes full search capabilities, item information display, patron record display, and renewal and request capabilities. AirPAC is designed to serve a wide variety of devices that run browsers supporting HTML or WML (used on Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) devices). </p> <br/><br/> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <span class="pageMainAreaHeader">Is my access to AirPAC affected by how I connect to the Internet?</span> <FONT color="0000ff"><I> <p> No. The method of getting an Internet connection (e.g., GSM (Groupe Speciale Mobile), 802.11, Bluetooth, WAP) is not a factor in accessing AirPAC. </p> <br/><br/> </TD> </TR> </br></br></br></br> </BR> <tr> <TD> <span class="pageMainAreaHeader">Is there a way to access the advanced search feature in Airpac for Smartphones? Is there a way to do an author, or title, or subject search in Airpac for Smartphones?</span> </br></br> <FONT color="0000ff"><I> <p> AirPAC for Smartphones was designed to be easy to use and maximize success, excluding search forms that did not fit with the model of a mobile user accessing the library quickly between other activities. We offer a keyword search with relevance-sorted results, suitable for keyword, subject, author, and title searches. The interface is deliberately focused on the single search box use case. </p> <br/><br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <br><br><br> <TD><i> <span class="pageMainAreaHeader">What devices support AirPAC?</span> </br></br> <FONT color="0000ff"> <p> Devices capable of running a Web browser that can display HTML or WML and submit HTTP requests that properly identify themselves can use AirPAC. AirPAC for Smartphones works with the following devices: </p> <p> <ul> <li>Apple iPhone </li> <li>Apple iPod Touch </li> <li>BlackBerry Storm </li> <li>BlackBerry Bold 9000</li> <li>Motorola Droid </li> <li>HTC Droid Eris </li> <li>Palm Pre </li> </ul> <br/><br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <TD> <span class="pageMainAreaHeader">There are many different kinds of wireless devices.

Therefore, if a device is unrecognized, it will be served a default HTML version of the display. As developments in the industry progress, we will update appropriately formatted displays to serve for them. </p> </td> </tr> </Table> <br /> <!--Begin the bottom logo table--> <!--TIP: this data should match the data used by the BOTLOGO web option--> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center"> <tr valign="middle"> <td align="center" class="pageNavArea"> <!--Beginning text-only navigation bar at the bottom of the page--> <a href="/" class="pageNavAreaText">Home</a> | <a href="/screens/help_index.html" class="pageNavAreaText">Help</a> <!--End of bottom navigation bar--> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#0132A7"><img src="/screens/spacer.gif" height="1" width="1" alt="" /></td> </tr> </table> <!--End the bottom logo table--> <p align="center" class="InnovativeCredit">Powered by <a href="http://www.iii.com" target="_blank">Innovative Interfaces, Inc.</a> 2003</p> </body> </html> <!--this is customized <screens/airpac.html>-->
