[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Mobile catalog?

[Buzzy Nielsen]

Thanks, everyone, for this very productive discussion. I especially like 
Kathy's recommendations. Providing a more mobile-accessible interface 
for My Account to allow for easier renewing would also be nice. As Kathy 
mentioned, larger font sizes would help immensely and probably some 
slightly different layout.

Personally, I'm trying to avoid the need for some sort of app. I know 
that Boopsie has designed iOS and Android apps for systems running 
Evergreen, But I think it's a lot more accessible, and less hassle, for 
our patrons if we don't require them to go out and download a separate 
app to access something that can be made accessible without one.

Thanks for all of your great work on this!

Cheers!
