Covering topics such as mobile reference, eBooks, mobile websites, and QR codes, this book examines the effects of the global mobile revolution on libraries and library users—critical information all librarians need. The Handheld Library: Mobile Technology and the Librarian provides the information and guidance librarians need to adapt themselves and their facilities to the mobile revolution—the fastest, most diffuse worldwide technological innovation in human history. The book provides an up-to-date survey of how mobile technologies are affecting library use, library services, library systems, librarians, and library users at various types of libraries. The authors cover core topics related to mobile libraries, including mobile reference, eBooks, mobile websites, and QR codes, and address aspects of the mobile revolution less frequently covered in the literature, such as mobile health information services, the use of mobile technologies on archival work, the impact of the mobile revolution on physical libraries, and the ways in which new mobile technologies are creating professional development opportunities within the profession. While this resource is specifically targeted toward librarians who plan and provide services using mobile technologies, academic, public, and other librarians will also find the ideas and information within useful.

Excerpt from An Address of Welcome, From the Librarians of Philadelphia, to the Congress of Librarians of the United States: Assembled October 4, 1876, in the Hall of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania But I regard this great anniversary of the nation less as the cause of this new sort of congress than as the occa sion of which it avails itself to assemble. It has been some what Obvious, I think, for several years past and is now entirely plain that with the much-increased and still much increasing issue of books from the printing press - several matters up to' this time little thought of by librarians - Tu deed not requiring to be much thought of by them - now demand consideration and, so far as practicable, a provision for the time not far distant when they are likely to come upon us. The increase of books to which I refer, is to be attributed in some part, I suppose, to the facility with which of late times, in consequence of the application of chemical agencies instead as formerly of mechanical ones alone, to the paper makers' art, paper itself is made; in greater part still, to the power which steam has given to the printing press, and in greatest part of all to the establishment of common schools and colleges everywhere throughout this country, by which both the capacity to write and the disposition and the ability to read are vastly increased. And as _i see nothing which islikely to arrest this progress of things, alike scientific and social, I see nothing which in coming years is to stand be tween the librarian and an issue upon him of books upon books, so vast and so uninterrupted that unless he brings the benefit of something like science to his aid he will be overwhelmed and buried in their very mass.
