On July 14th, please join us for a collaborative session with TOTS to focus on mobile technologies and mobile users in our library.

We are reading this article by one of the presenters at the conference – Joan K. Lippincott, “Mobile Technologies, Mobile Users: Implications for Academic Libraries,” ARL: A Bimonthly Report on Research Library Issues and Actions from ARL, CNI, and SPARC, no. 261 (December 2008). http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/arl-br-261-mobile.pdf and we will spend around 15 min discussing it.

Then, we will have our own library staff showcasing their use of iPodTouch (Jaimie Miller), Blackberry (Kile Brokop), and iPhone (Paul Joseph). At the end of the session , we are going to have an Informal sandbox – with a few Blackberries, iPod Touch(es), and iPhone(s).

The TOTS and Journal Club series are for all library staff and we encourage anyone with an interest in mobile devices to attend.

When:  Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 at 3:00PM – 5:00PM
