Presentation for the Computers in Libraries Conference, April 12, 2010.
The document discusses how libraries and librarians are adapting to mobile technologies and the expectations of mobile users. It notes that while libraries have traditionally been repositories of information and knowledge, they must now provide efficient access to information and collections through mobile devices. Examples provided include text message reference services, increased mobile access to electronic collections and catalogs, use of social media like Facebook, and the development of mobile applications. The presentation concludes by anticipating new mobile technologies and standards that will continue to change user expectations and require new competencies for librarians.
This document discusses mobile leadership in libraries. It defines mobile leadership as demonstrating, articulating, or creating a place, purpose, or opportunity for mobile technologies in libraries. Mobile technologies have changed libraries by providing access through mobile browsers, apps, and new platforms. As mobile is here to stay, libraries must take action at the personal, institutional, and professional levels to lead in this area. This includes using mobile technologies, exploring developments, finding niches, collaborating with peers, selecting projects, participating professionally, and writing about experiences. Attendees are encouraged to write their own "Mobile Rx" prescription for personal actions they can take to develop as a mobile leader.
