[McKiernan, Gerard [LIB]]

Colleagues/

 

On May 20 2010 I will deliver the featured presentation at a Special
Program organized by the Michigan Library Consortium, Lansing, MI

 

_The Ever Changing User: Mobile Devices and Beyond_

 

This one-day special program on the ever changing user will discuss the
utilization of mobile devices in libraries as well as the needs of
library patrons. 

Our featured keynote is Gerry McKiernan from the Iowa State University
Library who will present 

 

"M is for Mobile - Information Services in the iPhone Age". 

 

"Gerry's presentation will be followed by a presentation of Ann Arbor
District Library's use of mobile technology from Eli Neiburger. 

 

The program will also feature presentations on working with and
providing services to library users."

 

TakeHomeAbstract

 

In this presentation, we will review the mobile phenomenon and profile a
wide array of initiatives and projects that offer anytime/ anywhere
access to a variety of information services and sources. In particular,
we will focus on abstracts and indexes; collections; information
literacy; interlibrary loan; news; online public access catalogs; and
reference and research services. We will conclude with a review of
current and potential challenges and opportunities that librarians and
libraries face in the ever-expanding mobile environment.
