Book Review: Mobile Technology and Academic Libraries: Innovative Services for Research & Learning

Abstract

Mobile technologies’ application in libraries is an area still ripe in potential. Despite mobile technologies’ prevalence in the lives of most libraries’ users, libraries often remain reactive, at best, to the implementation of mobile technologies to provide library services. As many of the chapters in this edited volume underscore, mobile technologies reach people from a wider range of socioeconomic levels than traditional web-enabled technologies. Thus, there are both logistical and moral motivations for libraries to adopt mobile technologies.
