“From margin to

mainstream: mobile technologies transforming lives and

libraries”

 

 

Mobile technology has transformed

so many aspects of our lives: how we work, how we communicate, how we study and

how we play. This conference will explore and share work carried out in

libraries around the world to deliver services and resources to users via a

growing plethora of mobile and hand-held devices.

 

 

The m-libraries conference offers

you the opportunity to find out more about the transformation of services,

learners or providers because of mobile technology, and hear about the inspiring

and innovative projects which challenge current thinking and

practice.

 

 

The fourth International

m-libraries Conference (hosted by The Open University and Athabasca University)

will bring together researchers, educators, technical developers, managers and

library professionals to share experience and exchange expertise with colleagues

at the cutting edge of mobile use and development, and to generate ideas for

future developments.

 

 

This exciting and engaging

conference will be held at The Open University in Milton

Keynes from 24 - 26 September 2012.
