5 tips: Crossref-it.info on your mobile

Following last weeks news about our new mobile version of Crossref-it.info we thought we would delve a bit more deeply into the new site, to showcase some of the ways you can make use of this exciting new development!

Before we start, a reminder: the mobile site is built for devices running iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.), Android and WebOS. You can access it by simply visiting Crossref-it.info from your device's browser.
1. Navigate with ease


On the home page, everything is neatly organised into a selection of green boxes. This provides you with direct access to whatever content you're looking for. Text guides, for instance, can be found in the "Texts in detail" box.

Once you have navigated away from the home page, those green boxes become green icons which are always at the top of the screen. So wherever in the site you are, you can jump to another part of the website with
just two taps of the finger. There is also the search box, of course...


2. Use the drop-down box

The drop-down box enables you to quickly see all the content that is available within a section, for instance in a text guide, and navigate around really quickly. It is always fairly near the top of the page.

3. Take a look at the timeline

It offers a great overview of what was happening in the world during the period which you are reading about.

4. Recently viewed pages

To always have a list of the ten most recently viewed pages at your disposal, simply sign in to your free Crossref-it.info account. That way, when you tap the "My Account" button in the top right-hand corner of your screen, it will show you what you have been reading. A potential life-saver (in a manner of speaking).








5. Tooltips

Don't understand a word? Want more of an explanation? If it is orange, then there could be no simpler solution to your predicament: tap to open tooltip, read explanation, tap to close tooltip. Simples.

There is more. Lots more* actually. We think thanks to the excellent navigation you should have no trouble finding it. In fact, it should be fun! So go to www.crossref-it.info on your mobile device and check it out...

* For instance, open the Songs of Innocence and Experience text guide on your mobile device and navigate to "Pictures".
