The Wayne State University Library System has recently launched its first ever web site designed exclusively for mobile touch devices. M.lib.wayne.edu allows patrons to access the features of the Library System website that they might find most useful while on the go. By going to www.lib.wayne.edu or m.lib.wayne.edu, users will automatically be directed to the mobile site where they can look up library hours, check computer availability, browse the catalog, find out what’s new at the library and much more! For more advanced needs, the full site is still available by clicking the “full site” button.

Point your mobile device to m.lib.wayne.edu and give it a try!

• Orthopedics
• Anesthedia
• Emergency Medicine
• Family Medicine
• General Surgery
• Training Physician

Trial Access: Procedures Consult (http://www.proceduresconsult.com)
