Why academic libraries are “going mobile”
From the Notre Dame Spring 2012 Mobile Summit:
• “Mobile is overtaking traditional web-based use of many ND webpages” Erik Runyon, Manager of Interactive Development AgencyND
• “Research ON mobile, research WITH mobile are the future expectations.”
Nick Laneman, Director of Notre Dame’s Wireless Institute

Canalys estimates that 487.4 million smart phones were shipped in 2011, an increase of over 60% from 2010.
More than 104 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones during the three months ending in February 2012, up 14 percent versus November. Reported by comScore.
“Global sales of smartphones will top 1 billion units in 2014, according to one analyst’s estimate.” reported by Todd Wasserman, Mashable’s business editor.

“Mobile is ramping faster than Desktop Internet and will be bigger than most think…
…regarding the pace of change, we believe more users will likely connect to the Internet via
mobile devices than desktop PCs within 5 years”

This year’s NMC Horizon Report identifies mobile apps and tablet computing as technologies expected to enter
mainstream use in the “first horizon” of one year or less.
Note: The 2011 report predicted that “internet capable mobile devices would out-number computers within
the next year.” That means now.

Web-enabled phones have access to all of the same online resources that are available on
laptop or desktop computers.

How Libraries are going mobile:To “App” or not to “App”?
A recent article from the Chronicle of Higher Education states: “…colleges are shifting their attention from stand-alone applications that can be downloaded from an app store to mobile-optimized versions of their Web sites.”
“There are two goals, one is for library web pages to have a single source that adapts to the particular device - it is called responsive design. The 2nd goal is to have appropriate features; the desktop experience might have more functionality, the mobile one less functionality based on the particular application. It is really about the applications responding to the devices while also getting the efficiency of single sourcing.” --Mark Dehmlow Head, Web and Information Technology Systems Department, University of Notre Dame Hesburgh Libraries

How else can academic libraries support content on mobile devices?
Include mobile information literacy skills in standard library instruction
Support Metasearch or other unified resource discovery tools on library mobile websites that search more than one database at a time http://xerxes.library.nd.edu.proxy.library.nd.edu/quicksearch/databases/subject/computer-engineering
Seek support from database vendors for searching using mobile devices
Construct LibGuides and other helpful tools. WPI has a Libguide for Research Apps: http://libguides.wpi.edu/content.php?pid=116812&sid=2530434
