Want to learn OSU history? There’s an app for that.

Buckeye Stroll, OSU’s online historical campus tour, is now available in Apple’s mobile application store for the  iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Download the application, and with a GPS-enabled device, you can learn about OSU history as you walk around campus. Nearly 100 buildings are featured, with photographs and brief histories. The tour was created through a collaboration of the Libraries’ Web Implementation Team and the University Archives. Buckeye Stroll also is available on the Libraries’ web site at: http://library.osu.edu/buckeye-stroll

Here are a few screen shots from Buckeye Stroll:

The Buckeye Stroll application will locate you on the map and display your position as you walk across campus (left screen shot). It will also sort the buildings by proximity to your location (right).
