Nature Education, the educational wing of scientific publisher Nature Publishing Group, UK, has announced the launch of the mobile version of the open-access science library Scitable. Scitable's free library of scientist-authored overviews of key concepts in the life sciences is now accessible to users on a broad range of mobile devices, including the iPad, Android, Blackberry, and basic feature phones.
Any student with a cell phone, even a very basic device, can now gain access to a simplified version of the site that includes a wealth of quality, citable information. At the same time, students in the US and similar countries who have feature-rich smartphones or iPads will have access to a more robust version of Scitable, with full video/audio capabilities, built-in glossary, and in some cases full ability to network with thousands of researchers and fellow students.
Scitable, launched in 2009, combines a library of science education resources in the life sciences with classroom management tools and a collaborative community of scientists, instructors, and students.
