M-Libraries 3 cover

This title draws together international authorities to explore the variety of work that libraries are doing across the world to deliver resources to users via mobile and hand-held devices.
Based on the proceedings of the Third International M-Libraries Conference held in Brisbane in May 2011, this draws together cutting-edge international contributions from the leading authorities in the field. The main strands of discussion include:

  • mobile services and their development
  • mobile users, their behaviour and requirements
  • emerging technical developments including new platforms, devices and applications
  • strategy and infrastructure developments at national level
  • reflections and feedback on new service models
  • local innovation.

Readership: Information professionals in all sectors, policy makers, researchers, developers, publishers, suppliers, LIS students and new professionals.
