Emerging Trends in Digital Libraries: Mobile Technology and Mobile Learning
Abstract
New Technologies pose new challenges when libraries build their virtual collections. With the growth and popularity of e-books and other portable devices, collections can no longer be evaluated purely on the bases of content. Today, there is a growing trend in seeking information using mobile devices. Libraries can extend new types of services to users of mobile devices and develop, license, or otherwise make available scholarly content configured for mobile devices. Libraries will soon become part of an institutional planning process for the development of services for mobile devices. Only users can indicate how these platforms will be used as mobile tools for study or entertainment devices. The University of Technology Library (now a part of Aalto University) 2009-2010, in collaboration with the Usability Research Group, surveyed various e-book readers. Furthermore, the California Lutheran University ran a two-semester pilot to explore how course use of e-readers affects student learning from 2009-2010. To improve access to digital assets at the Norwegian National Library, an Android App was created and tested for mobile use. In addition, two military educational schools conducted a study of current mobile device ownership and use by their students. Survey results revealed that a majority of students say they would engage in mobile learning if it were available. This chapter examines surveys and emerging trends in Digital Libraries, mobile devices, and mobile learning.
