Timeline
Libraries on the Mobile Web
Kate Butler, Technology Librarian, Rodgers Memorial Library
The internet is always on. Libraries have adapted and now offer many online services 24/7. Now, thanks to mobile wireless devices, the internet is everywhere, and patrons will soon expect the library to follow. But what do mobile patrons really want from the library? What are the pitfalls associated with attempting to support mobile users and their myriad of devices? And is this just a fad or a revolution in the way people will access information?

Kathy Fletcher, Reference and Public Services Librarian, Franklin Pierce Law Center Library
