Mobiles in Libraries

摘要

Mobile technology is changing the way people work and play. Mobile devices are immediate to the user; they provide a channel for information and a way of interacting with others. They are superb at delivering different kinds of resources-streamed video and music, written and spoken literature, travel directions, games, sports scores, photos, and thousands more. Powerful mobile devices are becoming widespread-libraries cannot afford to ignore this medium if they are to keep in step with their patrons. There has never been a more relevant user-driven technology for libraries to adopt.
