Tablets: What Are They?

Image shared by Anandbadsu via a CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 license

• Tablets are not a new technology

• The term “tablet” is a bit loaded, since it evokes recent machines (tablet PC) to bear this name, which were really convertible laptops

• In this presentation, we will use the term “tablet” or “slate” to refer to the most recent generation of tablet computers, often exemplified by Apple’s iPad

• Let’s review the evolution of tablet computers…

Page 11: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

The Telautograph

Patented in 1888, the telautograph, is considered the precursor to the fax machine and to the modern tablet computer.

The machine uses an electrical stylus-type device to create handwritten messages that can be sent from one station to another.

The Dynabook

Image from edibleapple.com

Conceptualized by computerscientist Alan Kay in 1968, the Dynabook was intended to be an educational tool to be used by children.

Interestingly, Kay, who is involved with One Laptop per Child, has inspired the development of an under-$100 OLPC tablet, the XO-3:

The Apple Bashful

Image from technabob.com

In 1983, Apple dreamed up the Bashful, an early tablet-like computer that never made it to the market.

The photos of these prototypes were only revealed in 2011, after Apple’s actual success with a tablet product!

Page 14: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

The GRiDPad

Image from thetechcentral.com

In 1988, the GRiDPad was released. The touchscreen worked on a handwriting-recognition system that was used in Palm devices. Palm Computing was later founded by the GRiDPad’s creator, Jeff Hawkins.

A GRiDPad cost $2,370, and was mainly used by professionals in healthcare and law enforcement.

Page 15: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

The Apple Newton

The Apple Newton , although it may look like a precursor to the iPad, was actually one of the first personal digital assistants (PDA) on the market. That term—personal digital assistant—was actually coined by Apple’s CEO (at the time) John Sculley.

The Apple Newton was 4.5 X 7 in., and weighed nearly a pound.

Page 16: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

The MS Tablet PC

The MS Tablet PC, like the one pictured here, started shipping in 2002. This is the image that many think of when they hear the term “tablet computer.” Really, it’s simply a laptop with a swivel screen.

These machines ran Windows XP Tablet PC edition, and included pen-enabled, handwriting-enabled, and speech-enabled applications. This sort of “tablet” computer never gained much of the market share, and

The iPad

2010: Steve Jobs unveils the new “touchscreen tablet” that renews the way that consumers view and use “tablet” computers.

While the first generation iPad had a few issues--no camera and no multitasking--the iPad re-envisioned personal computing, and led to the boom in touchscreen tablets that we currently see. Image from apple.com

Tablets in 2013 Tablets are evolving nearly faster than we can

keep up with!

In the third quarter of 2012, 25% of all computers sold were tablets. The same market research firm (IDC) also confirmed a 75.3% increase in tablet sales compared with the same time period of 2011.

Pew Internet & American Life Project keeps tabs on gadget ownership growth…

Investing in a Tablet

New technologies are big investments in money, time, and other resources

Before deciding to make this investment, ask a few questions: What can the tablet(s) do that other technologies (e.g., e-

readers, netbooks) cannot? Who will be using the tablet(s)? How will users be using the tablet(s)? Where will users be using the tablet(s)? Who will support and maintain the tablet(s)? Is there an interest in continuing to explore the possibilities of

tablets? Who will stay up to date on updates, etc.?

Mobile Connections to Libraries

The Pew Internet & American Life Project found that about 13% of those ages 16+ have visited library websites or accessed library services by mobile devices.

This compares with about 25% of Americans 16+ who visited a library website (via any method) over the past 12 months. Of this group…

Page 29: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Library Website Activity Searching the library catalog Finding basic library information Reserving books Renewing books Using an online database Looking up information on library events Getting research/homework help Reading book reviews/recommendations Checking on fines Signing up for library events Downloading an e-book Reserving a meeting room

Page 30: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Tablet Programs in Libraries Being able to match your need(s) to the tablet’s functions and

capabilities is essential to the success of your tablet computer program

For that reason, tablet programs in libraries need to start with research into both user needs and tablet options…

In the examples (practical applications) that we discuss, many libraries focus on tablets for different reasons:• E-reading

• Engaging learners• Supporting research• As assistive technologies• Reference

• Providing new services• Delivering new content• Productivity enhancement• Professional development• Instruction

Impact on Device Usage

Page 45: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Quick Poll!

What sort of trends do you see in your library?

A. More patrons or students with tablets

B. More patrons or students with e-readers

C. Patrons seem to use tablets and e-readers about equally

D. I’m not sure yet

Page 46: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

E-Readers v. Tablets The big question: will (do) tablets replace e-readers?

The answer: it depends

We’ll discuss book apps later (Kindle, Nook, iBooks), but tablets are impacting the market for and usage of e-readers

According to the 2011 Nielsen survey, 24% of e-reader users use their e-readers less often once they started using a tablet.

Significance? Libraries may want to seriously consider the flexibility of the devices they invest in.

Page 47: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Types of Tablet Programs

Libraries interested in purchasing tablets may have a variety of objectives:For staff: productivity, exploration, experienceFor in-house use: in classes, in story times, for other

specific purposes inside the library or other educational setting

For circulation: users can check out for personal use

Keep these different objectives in mind as we discuss building a tablet program and explore various examples

Page 48: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Setting up a program We’ll discuss these steps a bit here, and also touch

on them in the examples we’ll explore. Assessing needsFinding fundingPurchasingCirculatingDeveloping policiesStaff trainingTech supportUser supportMarketingImplementing the programAssessing the program

Finding Funding

Many of the projects we’ll be exploring in this workshop have become a reality because of grant funding or other donations.

Tumblr site contains some resources: http://tabletsinlibraries.tumblr.com/funding

Page 52: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

A few funding resources Consider local partnerships or funding opportunities

Consider the following funding sources: Perma-Bound (

http://www.perma-bound.com/grants-and-funding.faces ) DonorsChoose.org (http://www.donorschoose.org/) Tech Soup for Libraries (http://techsoupforlibraries.org/ ) Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/) IMLS grants (http://www.imls.gov/applicants/search.aspx ) NEH grants (http://www.neh.gov/grants/grants.html ) Library Grants (http://librarygrants.blogspot.com/) Library Works

(http://www.libraryworks.com/LW_Grants/GrantsCurrent.aspx )

Page 53: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Purchasing After making the initial decision to purchase

tablets, again, think about the specifications and content available for the device(s).

Consider what accessories you may want to purchase and circulate along with the device you select (e.g., keyboard? VGA or HDMI adapters?)

Leave room in your budget for apps and other accessories you may want or need down the road

Page 54: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Sample Budget: iPads Devices

10 iPad 2s (16 GB, Wi-Fi only): $4,000.00 Accessories

10 Smart Covers: $400.00 10 iPad sleeves: $250.00 5 Digital AV adapters: $200.00 5 VGA adapters: $150.00 5 Pogo Styli: $75.00 3 Camera connection kits: $100.00

Android: Google Play Private Channel

Microsoft: Enterprise Sideloading (education?)

Page 56: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Circulating If you are planning to circulate the tablets, you’ll

need to consider a few fundamentals of the program:

Physical space—where will the devices be kept and charged?

Tracking the deviceContent that will be placed on the deviceAccessories that will either circulate or be made

availableProcedures to restore the device after it has been

returned

accounts on laptops or desktops

Profiles are administrative for restrictions, security, etc.

Accounts are connected with user and facilitates Apple interactions

All apps are visible on iPad – no matter how many accounts are used on single iPad – until the iPad is erased and reset to factory settings

When Circulating…

If a user adds an app or other content through his/her own account, he/she still has access to it, just not on the returned device

The returned device can be wiped, restored to factory settings, and then synced with the institutional/library iTunes account

This can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour, depending on how much content needs to be restored.

From iTunes

• Factory settings restored

• Apps are updated and restored upon sync

• All of this occurs on the library’s Apple account

Restore

Page 68: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Developing Policies

As with all library resources, you’ll need to develop policies to manage the use of the tablets. These can include:User eligibilityIn-house v. external checkoutLoan periodLate feesDamage feesRenewalsHoldsUser agreements/contracts

Page 69: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Quick Poll!

How long is the loan period for tablets at your library?

A. Less than 1 day

B. 1-3 days

C. 3-5 days

D. 5-7 days

E. More than 7 days

Page 70: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Existing Policies A number of libraries that currently circulate

iPads have policies posted on the web:

Page 74: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Staff Training & Exploration The most important factor? Put the

devices in the hands of library staff! Public services staff need to be

equipped to answer questions and provide front-line support

Page 75: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Training and User Groups Set up a way for staff to communicate

about using the devices. Examples include:

Briar Cliff University’s discussion group: http://bcutalks.wordpress.com/

iPad and Tablet User Group at Georgetown’s Lauinger Library: http://events.georgetown.edu/events/index.cfm?Action=View&CalendarID=212&EventID=91592

Radford University’s McConnell Library iPad blog: http://mozart.radford.edu/ipad/

Page 76: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

User Support Aside from equipping staff to support users,

there are a number of other ways libraries starting tablet programs should consider supporting users:

Creating help documentationCreating tutorials (non-Flash, in the case of iPads) to

be placed on library website and on devicesSetting up open houses or petting zoos to familiarize

users with the new devices in a safe settingHolding regular workshops related to the devices.

Partner with experts.

Page 77: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Marketing

How will you let people know this service exists?

Ideas include:Media (town or school newspapers)Facebook (and other social media) announcementsHighlight on websitePresentations for different groupsEvents like open houses or petting zoosOther usual publicity outlets

Page 78: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Assessing How will you know that your tablet program is

meeting the needs of the community?

Consciously gather and store dataCirculation statistics (if appropriate)Survey dataObservational and anecdotal data

Set a time in the future (6 months? A year?) to critically review the program’s successes and weaknesses and incorporate feedback

Media Coverage

Page 91: Integrating iPads and Tablets into Library Services

Be proactive and anticipatory when coming up with policies and help documentation

When you have many tablets (e.g., 32), don’t circulate them all at once; instead, allow staff to become familiar with the checkout procedure by releasing a few at a time

Lend the devices out to staff first, so the staff can become familiar with them

Seriously consider the content that you place on the device—how much space is there? What’s legal?

Make sure that the library website, and help documents, are tablet friendly: mobile, and not Flash-based.

Assess the entire program from day one!
