A One-Day Workshop Co-sponsored by CENDI and NFAIS and hosted by NARA at the

Cell phones, smart phones, netbooks and other hand-held computing devices
are becoming essential conduits to information by an increasingly mobile and
collaborative global research community. Today's top-end smart phones are as
powerful by the computational calculation speeds of their processors as were
the world's fastest supercomputer of only two-decades ago.  Mobile computing
is not only a rapidly growing content delivery channel, but it is also
shaping the future of scientific and technical communication!  

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?  

 

The over-arching nature of this one-day workshop will appeal to anyone
involved in the delivery of content to researchers and scholars around the
world, including content providers, librarians, publishers, information
professionals, scientists/researchers, technologists, and educators.  

 

THE FOCUS OF THE DAY - The program will begin with an overview of the
current landscape for the mobile delivery of content, including the level of
adoption by content providers and users as well as the types of devices that
are most popular.  This will be followed by a look at the technology
challenges in delivering content to mobile devices.  In the afternoon, a
panel of publishers will present case studies on how they delivering content
to mobile devices and discuss new opportunities offered by this unique
delivery channel.  Next will be a look at newly developed applications to
facilitate the use of mobile computing within scientific communication and
workflow.  The meeting will close with a discussion on open government and
policies on the future of mobile computing.
