Potential & Opportunities
Demands for “advanced” mobile content & capabilities are growing. 54 5 illi t h hi d i th 4th t f 2009 i f 39% 54.5 million smartphones were shipped in the 4th quarter of 2009, an increase of 39%
compared to the same period in 2008. (Source: IDC, a market research firm)
2010 estimation: 1.3 bill. Mobile phones will ship globally, 250 mill. of them will be g ysmartphones.
The boundary between handheld devices and desktops is beginning to blur. Mobile devices are inundating the market it’s not just cell phones any more Mobile devices are inundating the market- it’s not just cell phones any more.
SmartPhones, iPods, iPhones, iPad, netbooks, labtops, PDAs, e-Readers…

Reality... & Practice Mobile browsing capabilities currently exist only on ~60% of handsets today, by 2013, that
number will climb to +80%.
Handheld devices, sites, tools and applications in libraries: Play mostly a supplemental role Consists of a mobile-friendly website/presencey p Basic services
Renew materials, SMS/text reference, search capabilities for OPACs/licensed databases, locate available computers, tours, podcasts
Quick, on-the-go information: Hours, directions, contact information
Both services and resources are in infancy.

Recurring Themes & Features Mobile versions of library databases and licensed content are not always available for
institutional accounts.
Majority of providers who are developing mobile-ready apps are iPhone/iTouch compatible only.
The “authentication process” varies (or does not exist).
Location-aware features vary.
Apps vs mobile optimized websites.
Limited number of databases, resources, articles, results, search capabilities
PDFs , OpenURL, branding and associations with desktop/web account on some platforms

Other Outcomes “Mobile-centrics” are driving the bus Licensed database content for mobile devices in non-subject-specific
areas are still in infancy given existing limitationsareas are still in infancy given existing limitations. Mobile learning is about how effectively and quickly you can search for
and retrieve the information you need (2010 Horizon Report). However, the benefit of using these mobile products in research seems to be
unclear. How can handhelds improve learning and affect research and teaching?
We see much wider adoption of mobile devices in specific fields of study, especially practice-based disciplines like medicine…

Mobile Devices in Medicine
32% of all Americans have gotten online with a mobile device. (P I t t R t 2009)(Pew Internet Report 2009)
54% of U.S. doctors own a PDA or smartphone. More than half of them consider it to be an integral part of their practicethem consider it to be an integral part of their practice. (iHealthBeat, Feb. 2009.)
60-70% of medical students and residents use handheld computers for education or patient care. (Kho et al., 2006)
PDAs are often required during medical students’ clinical training.

Librarians on Mobile Devices
The majority of librarians don’t know (Spires, 2008) the percentage of their patrons using mobile devices. how mobile devices are being used in their libraries. if there is a demand for more or different services for mobile device if there is a demand for more or different services for mobile device
users.
Librarians are split into three camps: (i) addressing issues now, (ii) waiting until the demand increases and/or devices improve, and (iii) doing nothing. (Spires, 2008)

Can we assume that mobile devices will become popular in non-practice-focused
bj tsubject areas as in medicine?
Probably. But…
