[Eril-l] Mobile Device Access

[Ray, Emily]

Hi Whitney,

We use an ipad that is not on our wifi and is on a dataplan from Verizon that the library pays for. I was not part of the set up for that, and it took a while.  It works well for testing for off campus access, and I can test how it works on a mobile device, but I can only chrome or safari browsers. I use something else to see how off campus access is working on a pc.

Hi, all,

We're looking into purchasing a mobile device (tablet or phone) for our department for the purposes of testing off-campus and mobile access. We'd like to get something that can be used by any member of the department in lieu of their personal device(s).

For those of you that use mobile devices for testing off-campus issues...
-Do you only use WiFi for testing?
-If not, what do you use for data? (hotspot, etc)
-Do you have an device recommendations?

Thank you for any feedback!

-Whitney
