The Wellcome Library did not want to introduce an off-the-shelf “silo” digital library product
Background – we built the “DDS”
Digitisation Workflow (Goobi)

…and we built a beautiful responsive web site with our design partners Clearleft
Navigating the site and the catalogues is a great experience on all devices
And we made sure the results use desktop and tablet features – such as mouse wheel…
…keyboard interactions…
…and pinch to zoom on touch devices…
But small devices are a problem. It works, but…
…a phone is not the best device to study archive materials on
…if you keep the same UI as a tablet…
We have all these features – but what should we try to do on a 4 inch screen?
• Deep Zoom• Search within• Bibliographic metadata• Access control• Thumbnails• Standalone player, can be embedded• Audio, video, Born-digital• Embedding:• http

Does there come a point at which we should cut our losses?

British Library requirement
For the Wellcome Library, mobile optimisation of the site for all devices was important.
Mobile optimisation of the Player was important for tablets, but not smaller devices
British Library requirement
British Library has much wider reach, so we will need to revisit our approach to mobile
• Simplify UI• Avoid multiple panels• Strip right down to deep-zoom only
• Maybe there is no ideal solution – sometimes you really do need a 30 inch monitor

IIIF
• We’re interested in it because we support it as a standard for viewers and servers
• But it also offers a foundation to build responsive image solutions
• Great if all cultural heritage institutions make their image resources available in this way
