Focusing on the implementation of an iPad loaning program at the Art and Architecture Library at Virginia Tech in the fall of 2010, chapter 8 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 48, no. 8) “Rethinking Reference and Instruction with Tablets” examines the ways in which the academic library intersects with mobile learning and student engagement. The author reviews the development, implementation, and reception of the project among library users. In the process, the broader issue of discipline-specific utilization of the tablet computer for mobile learning, particularly in the fields of art, architecture, and design, is discussed.
