- What
is LTLS PDA Connect?
- LTLS PDA
Connect is a free service designed by the Lincoln Trail
Libraries System to enable people who use PDAs (portable
handheld devices) to have selected information about LTLS
and its member libraries conveniently located on their
PDA.
LTLS has developed this PDA-friendly web site with
content formatted to fit the small screen of your
hand-held device. You download the LTLS PDA web pages
when you sync your device to your desktop PC, so the
information is frequently updated.
Who
can use LTLS PDA Connect ?- LTLS PDA
Connect is freely available at no cost to any interested
user.
What
content is provided?- LTLS PDA
Connect includes a subset of the information available on
our main web site. The PDA information has been
specifically created to include essential information
such as library hours, contact information, directions,
phone and fax numbers, upcoming library event schedule,
and more .

What
do I need to use PDA Connect ?- All you need
to take advantage of the service is a PDA, a PC where you
can "sync" the PDA, and an Internet connection on the
PC.
The PDA itself does not have to be connected to the
Internet in order to use the LTLS PDA service. The LTLS
information gets placed on your PDA when you "sync" the
PDA to your PC desktop computer which is connected to the
Internet.
I
want it! How do I get started?
- Its easy! It's
free! Just click the following link to add
the LTLS or member library PDA pages to your hand-held
device.
Select the library information you would like to place on
your PDA by clicking the appropriate link. Follow the
prompts to load the appropriate conduit to your PDA and
you will have the LTLS PDA information in the palm of
your hand in no time.
Tell
me more about what happens when I sign
up.
- Here are the
easy steps to set up your PDA to receive LTLS PDA
content:
- 1. First, Go
to this link to add
the LTLS or member library PDA pages to your hand-held
device,
and select the library content you wish to add to your
PDA.
- That takes you
to the AvantGo site and walks you through the steps to
add the LTLS Palm info to your Palm. If you are a new
AvantGo user, you'll need to register first. You only
have to do that once. If you already have an AvantGo
login, enter your name and password and the LTLS content
will be uploaded on your next sync.
- 2. If you do
not already have an Avantgo login, follow the prompts
leading to downloading the Avantgo software to the
desktop PC you use to synch your device. This process
puts the Avantgo application into your device's conduit
upload folder where it will be put on your device during
your next sync along with the LTLS-specific channel
info.
-
- 3. After your
next sync you should have a new application on your palm
called Avantgo. Open that application to view the LTLS
PDA pages.
Can
I get specific information about my local library on my
PDA?-
Yes, in
addition to the LTLS PDA pages, we have also created
links for you to place directory information for your
favorite LTLS libraries on your device. You may view a
listing of the library
directory pages currently available for
download.
