mobile devices for communication and accessing information is now the norm.
Cell phones, smart phones, netbooks and e-book readers have become essential
conduits to information that content providers and librarians must offer
through those channels. But what devices are most popular? What types of
content are being offered through these channels? How are academic libraries
supporting these devices? Are scholarly and scientific publishers
“rethinking” their content for these devices in order to maximize
information usage and value? Are e-books simply moved “as is” to
digital format or are there new and innovative ways in which book content can
be searched and displayed? The workshop will answer these questions and more.
