I applaud publishers  who make the content of their website available
through mobile applications.  However, limiting an institutional
subscriber's access to just their campus's WiFi is not beneficial to
our students or faculty.

Generally, the database providers allow users to register for an
individual account from their institution's IP range to validate
affiliation.  Access is good for 12 months, then they are required to
reregister their device again via the campus IP.   In that scenario,
librarians are able to wholeheartedly promote the mobile application.

ASN ANNOUNCES MOBILE-READY WEBSITES FOR JOURNALS

May 2, 2012-The American Society for Nutrition (ASN) is pleased to
announce the launch of mobile-optimized versions of its journal
websites: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, The Journal of
Nutrition, and Advances in Nutrition. These mobile-optimized websites
are simplified, streamlined versions of the journals' regular websites
designed to be viewed on all mobile devices with a web browser
(iPhone, Android phones and tablets and BlackBerry; iPad will display
the regular sites). The mobile-optimized websites include all of the
article content from the regular sites.

I am happy to announce that the ASN journal websites have been
optimized for mobile devices. Busy ASN members and other readers of
the ASN journals will now be able to better keep up with the original
research and timely reviews published in the ASN journals while on the
go. Full content from all 3 journals is now at one's fingertips in a
simple, streamlined, easy-to-read format on mobile phones or tablet
devices," said Michael McBurney, PhD, Chair of the ASN Publications
Management Committee.

ASN members can obtain access to full content on the new mobile sites
by signing in with the user name and password for their member
subscription. If you have not activated your member subscription or
need help with your user name and password, please contact

Readers at institutions having subscriptions to ASN journals can
access full content on the new mobile sites via their institution's
WiFi proxy server. You must use WiFi access on your mobile device in
order for institutional access to work. Note that full content access
will be available only while your mobile device is connected to your
institution's WiFi network; once you have disconnected from your
institution's WiFi network, you will have access only to content that
is freely available to all.

ASN is the authoritative voice on nutrition and publisher of The
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, The Journal of Nutrition, and
Advances in Nutrition. In 2012, AJCN is celebrating 60 years of
publication. Established in 1928, ASN's more than 4,500 members in
more than 65 countries work in academia, practice, government and
industry. ASN advances excellence in nutrition research and practice
through its publications, education, public affairs and membership
programs. Visit us at:  www.nutrition.org.
