Presented at the 2015 Indiana Library Federation District 4 Conference. With smart phone apps integrating further and further into everyday life, according to Pew Internet half of adult cell phone owners have apps on their phones, it behooves libraries to stay current with apps which impact library services and to be able to provide “app advisory.” Moreover, current predictions place mobile internet use as the primary internet platform. This session will survey iTunes and Android apps, which influence library services. Further, attendees will learn strategies for incorporating “app advisory” into reference interviews and tips for curating apps within existing library infrastructure.
