I am a Health Sciences Librarian at University of California Davis and look forward to working with handheld/mobile technologies to increase participation through content sharing and commentary in library exhibit projects, instruction settings and a meriad of other scenarios including virtual environments such as the very beautiful Second Life® where I work with faculty and colleagues.

Our university is issuing iPhones/ iTouch devices to all incoming freshmen. This is the second year of the program. Naturally with so much invested in mobile learning on our campus, the library needs to be involved.

My immediate interests include mobile tagging in libraries and sms reference, but I also want to remain open to new applications and the means to achieve them. I am hungry for practical knowledge.

I am the Biological and Life Science Librarian in our brand new Lewis library and I am interested in developing innovative services. The architecture is attracting lots of attention (it is a Frank Gehry Building) and I want our library’s services to be just as striking. Handheld services may just be the way to go, so I would like to attend this conference.

Hi there! I’m the Electronic Resources Acquisitions Librarian at UC Irvine. I’m interested in ways in which we can provide access to our growing number of electronic resources on handheld devices. I’m coming at the issue from a Tech Services perspective, but of course the ultimate goal is serving our public and giving them the information they need – where, when and how they want it!

Looking forward to an interesting discussion tomorrow.

I’m also interested in mobile and handheld technologyuse in medical libraries. Most physicians have a mobile device and they come to the library for ideas/opinions when selecting resources. I would also like to know more about how handhelds can be used in the classroom. As well as how to promote mobile resources.

Looking forward to event tomorrow!
Thanks

Hello!

I’m a GSLIS student at Dominican University. I’m interested in learning how librarians can use mobile technology to best serve their patrons needs.

I’d like to see how new mobile devices suh as iPhones (I’m writing this on my phone) and mobile pc devices netbooks, etc are being used by librarians in the field.

Thanks! :D

Hi there!

I am the Educational Outreach Services Librarian at the University of Washington Libraries. I’m most interested in:
-how we might integrate our (very popular) chat reference system with handheld devices
-how students, faculty and staff might use handhelds to create and share content about themselves, their research processes and info seeking behavior with the Libraries
-how our existing online services and resources (research guides, databases, catalog, ILL request) might be made portable
Thanks!
