Introducing Mobiles To Dana Medical Library: Successes & Challenges, Fred C. Pond, Alice Stokes, Lesley Boucher

UVM Libraries Conference Day

The Dana Medical Library mounted a webpage of health-sciences information sources for mobile apps in early 2011, followed later by a lending system for iPads. We offered workshops on "Mobile Apps" and promoted them at orientations, usually including a few words while teaching other topics.

We will review the successes and challenges of introducing this new technology, and offer some perspectives for the future in managing mobile apps.
