Mobile Technologies in Libraries: A LITA Guide: LITA Guides

Autor Ben Rawlins
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2016
The ever expanding usage of mobile technologies has dramatically changed how we access information and how we as a society expect to access information. With mobile technologies becoming available to an increasing majority of the population, users are constantly connected to information. The rapid expansion of mobile technology has had a profound impact on many different sectors, industries, and institutions, among those that have been affected are libraries. With more users expecting access to information and resources in a mobile optimized format, libraries have had to adapt to meet the needs of users. This has entailed evaluating various library services and resources to determine how to best meet the needs of mobile users. Additionally, mobile technology has changed the way that websites are designed, and has led to an increasing popular type of web design know as responsive web design (RWD). This enables web developers to design websites with one code base that are optimized for a wide range of devices from desktop computers to smartphones. Libraries must keep their mobile services current or risk becoming obsolete. Based on research, examples, and experience using mobile technology, this book will include topics such as: -The impact of mobile technology -Mobile technology and the Digital Divide -Implications for library staff and vendors -Responsive Web Design -Wearable technology in library services Mobile Technologies in Libraries: A LITA Guide is written for library staff interested in how mobile technologies have changed the way we access, and expect to access, information, as well as how libraries can incorporate and adapt to mobile technology.

Recenzii

Mobile Technology in Libraries is full of information about how to manage the devices and technologies that are increasingly handheld and mobile these days. The chapter on wearable technology alone is worth the price of the book - it, as in the other chapters in the book, contains a wealth of information about how libraries can understand and make use of these technologies in libraries. This book can show any librarian some really great ideas on how to incorporate mobile technology into their library - or just help them understand how their patrons use it a bit better.
Rawlins has written a perfect primer for library administrators, trustees, and friends on the current state of mobile technologies in libraries and some of the many possibilities for the future. Providing a solid background and just enough technical detail, Rawlins offers information to help decision-makers ask better questions of vendors and library staff when considering new tools or services. The chapter on how mobile devices have an impact on the digital divide is particularly useful for reasons to expand services.
