Abstract

Providing content, collections, and services to mobile users is increasingly important in contemporary libraries. In Mobile Technology and Academic Libraries: Innovative Services for Research and Learning , Robin Canuel and Chad Crichton curate a collection of practical case studies of libraries adapting technologies, piloting new initiatives, and building new tools to meet the needs of mobile users. This volume is oriented toward academic libraries but is diverse within this constraint. Canuel is the Head of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library at McGill University, and Crichton is a Liaison Librarian at the University of Toronto Scarborough. Both have presented and published on the use of mobile technologies in libraries. The case studies come from academic institutions, but the selection features libraries of different types, including research libraries, archives, law libraries, and health sciences libraries. The volume also includes examples from functional units across the library, including public services, collections, web services, and instruction.
