Users of handheld and wireless computing devices can now catch up on the latest news from Monmouth College while they’re on the move. The college’s new mobile Web site is up and running at www.monm.edu/mobile/.

“This puts Monmouth on the leading edge of providing content for wireless Internet users,” said the college’s web coordinator, Susan Brown. “Monmouth is one of only a few colleges and universities in the nation providing this service.”

Mobile users will be able to download such important information as the latest campus news and events, athletic news, schedules and results, college contact information and the official homepage picture of the day.

“A mobile site is about basic news and information,” she continued. “For instance, people with laptops can access this mobile site and get to the current information they want without having to go through a heavy download of graphics.”

Brown said that Monmouth’s site will also be available to users who can access wireless Internet through their cell phones.

“To make the most of the Monmouth College mobile edition, we recommend that you synchronize your device at least once a week,” added Brown.
