BioOne is pleased to announce the official launch of BioOne
Mobile, an optimized website now available to smartphone
users at www.bioone.org. With this new mobile interface, all
content from BioOne’s 167 journals and book series is available
for easy access to faculty, students, and researchers via their
Phones, Androids, and Blackberry smartphones.

Because BioOne’s optimization is site-wide, there is no app to
download or keep updated. Instead, users will be automatically
directed to BioOne’s mobile site whenever they access the site from
a compatible mobile device. Users accessing the site from an iPad
or tablet are shown the full site for optimal viewing, but can select
 the mobile site if they prefer.

Just as on the full BioOne site, users are able to access abstracts
and the full text of open access articles without a subscription. Users
can also access their account profiles; execute complex searches,
sorting by most-recent, most-downloaded, or most-cited articles; and
save PDFs for future access.

Users associated with an institutional subscription can easily pair
their device with their university’s access privileges, giving them access
all subscribed content, whether they are in the library or on-the-go.

BioOne has created a number of resources to assist libraries and
researchers using BioOne Mobile. Please visit
http://www.bioone.org/page/resources/mobile
for more information. Because we are committed to working with
community members to improve this service over time, we encourage
you to contact us with questions or suggestions for enhancements.

About BioOne

Established in 1999, BioOne is the product of innovative collaboration
between scientific societies, libraries, academe, and the private sector,
who seek a sustainable, mission-driven alternative to commercial
publishing. BioOne brings to the Web a uniquely valuable aggregation
of the full-texts of high-impact bioscience research journals. Most of
BioOne's titles are published by small societies and independent
publishers. BioOne provides integrated, cost-effective access to a
thoroughly linked information resource of interrelated journals focused
on the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences.
