Home / CNI News / Handheld Librarian Conference – Mobile Devices

Joan Lippincott, CNI Associate Executive Director, will give a keynote for this online conference.  For librarians interested in learning more about services to users with mobile devices, this is a good opportunity to hear a wide variety of presentations.

Alliance Library System and LearningTimes Offer Handheld Librarian 2!

More people than 2000 people attended the first ever Handheld Librarian Conference in July 2009 which featured a wide array of collaboration, learning and networking activities focused on Mobile Library Services!  The Handheld Librarian 2 will continue the dialog with a 2-day online conference scheduled for February 17-18, 2010 and is now accepting registrations at http://www.handheldlibrarian.org. The program — sponsored by Alliance Library System, and LearningTimes — will include a series of  wonderful keynote and featured speakers collection of available resources, discussions boards, and access to the recording of all live events for one year after the conference.  More people than ever are using mobile devices for a wide variety of purposes including communication, internet access, text messaging, and entertainment. It is important that libraries provide mobile services as handheld use increases.

The conference will feature three exciting keynote talks:

·       Joan K. Lippincott from the Coalition for Networked Information speaking about “Mobilizing Libraries for Today’s Students”
·       Joe Murphy from Yale University speaking about “This is Now: The Mobile Library”
·       Tom Peters of TAP Information Services, addressing “Morphing with Mobile”

The Handheld Librarian II will also include the real-life experiences of libraries and information professionals. We are now soliciting presentation proposals highlighting current, evolving and future issues in mobile library services.
