I've been pondering this myself, a couple of Australian universities are
starting lists:
http://www.csu.edu.au/division/library/how-to/faq/mobile-device.html

Curtin and Deakin have a whole 'mobile' site, but different approaches it
seems:
http://m.library.curtin.edu.au - all databases are listed
http://m.library.deakin.edu.au/ - only the catalogue (I'm assuming because
it is the only one with a mobile interface.

Serials Solutions' Summon has a mobile interface. Yay!

EBSCO now has a mobile interface to their databases. It is very easy to set
up and to use.  Are there any other database vendors with mobile access to
their databases?
