Editor's Notes
- \nAdvanced Topics in Mobile Technologies for Libraries: How Do We DO This Stuff, Anyway?\n\n  Program description\nJoin Jason Griffey as he follows up his previous webinar (insert title here) with a look at the practical details of using mobile devices (phones, personal media players and tablets) in a library setting. \n\nWe’ll discuss:\nstandout applications for library use\nhow to manage purchasing applications in a library setting\nlimitations of the various platforms\nexamples of libraries doing cutting edge work with mobile devices. \n\n\nJason will showcase a wide variety of apps, including those best for back-office use by librarians -- such as statistical gathering and library instruction -- and those your patrons use and will expect you to know and be able to offer assistance with, from children’s books to test preparation.\n\nAfter attending this webinar, participants will:\nDemonstrate awareness of about 20-30 apps for mobile devices that may be useful in a library setting\nExamine and make decisions about the best platform for their particular library to focus on\nExplain to library management the reasons for purchasing decisions in the mobile space of internet-accessible personal devices. \n I think you'll hit all the high notes if you stick to the description & objectives. The only other things I'd add are eReading options (we're about to have a big e-reading summit next week, featuring Mary Minow, Eli N., and Joe Sanchez)\nAnd definitely address library mobile websites that function like apps (Harford County MD, Suffolk County, NY)\nThey look & work beautifully and would be way cheaper to produce, as you mentioned in your last talk for us.\nAnd I know it may sound silly, but if you include "what we're going to be talking about" at the top of the webinar, very briefly, it will dispel IMAGINED learning objectives anyone brings with them\n

- One of the problems that libraries have is management of tools that are not designed to be institutional. How do you manage apps/app purchases on library purchased devices when the systems are designed to be single-user?\n

- This is normally where I would have 20 slides about hardware. It’s really, really much simpler than that.\nUnless you work in a Blackberry shop, or are REALLY curious about WebOS.\n
- The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. But that’s the way to bet. - Damon Runyon\n\nAccording to the web monitoring company, the iPad and its successor account for 89 percent of tablet internet use globally, and 97 percent here in the US.\n
- the question really is: Why would you choose something OTHER than an ipad? \n
