The 100+ page study looks closely at the measures
taken by academic, public, and special libraries to assure
that mobile devices–iPads, iPhones, Android devices,
Kindles and many others–can access the library website
easily and fluently. The report looks at the development of
new versions of websites specifically designed for mobile
access, at use of various paid and open source services and
product for mobile device access, and at general library
policies designed to ease the experience of mobile device
users. The report presents highly detailed data on the extent
of library website traffic accounted for by mobile devices,
the impact on library resource use of the deployment of mobile
friendly information products from vendors, and much more.
More than 60 libraries contributed comprehensive data and
insights to the report, and data is broken out by size and
type of library and other useful criteria.
The study helps its readers to answer questions such
as: What kind of apps are libraries developing for mobile
technologies? How are libraries testing their sites for mobile
device access? How many libraries and what kinds of libraries
are using for-fee services to enhance mobile device access?
What is the impact on use of library resources? What has been
the experience of libraries with various open source products
to enable mobile access? What are libraries planning for the
future in this mission critical area?
