Summary
The ubiquity of the Internet, and the superabundance of available information have given librarians new opportunities to reenvision their roles, service solutions, and collaborations in this evolving information environment. Digital content and technology-rich library services are moving the library ‘‘presence’’ outside the physical building to support users in their digital spaces, wherever and whenever. The increasing prevalence of mobile devices and tablet computing in research, patient care, and teaching has given rise to libraries providing mobilefriendly websites, content, and support services to meet the needs of a growing mobile library community. The focus of this first column is to provide concrete examples of virtual projects in health sciences libraries that illustrate this digital shift. Future columns will be published on an annual basis that explore a particular theme or topic in conjunction with periodic calls and announcements to encourage submissions from all types of libraries
