It great to see these very useful comments and links to resources. I think it would be great to share this information more widely and suggest SCONUL's Higher Education Library Technology (HELibTech) http://helibtech.com/ wiki might be a tool to help. It already has a 'mobile' page http://helibtech.com/Mobile+Computing which has some useful information and links but could do with some improvement along the lines of what we did recently for 'Discovery services' http://helibtech.com/Discovery HELibTech is a free resource open to all. It is supported by SCONUL. No log in or sign up is required to view, discuss or download the information. Anyone can *edit* it (to do that you do need to 'join') ....so do feel free to add resources. we chose Wikispaces as a platform as it is one of the easiest wiki's to edit. If anyone would like to help please do. Also if you have any comments, criticisms or suggestions let us know. We recently established a small group of volunteer editors and will do what we can to improve the 'mobile' page too. If anyone wants to join the editors group we'd love to have you! Drop me a line or call me if you are interested. Very best Ken Ken Chad Consulting Ltd Tel +44 (0)7788 727 845.

I think we have issues with staff skill and confidence in promoting these, as mentioned by someone else we are also wary of being expected to support them. Also we have terrible reception in the library which would make promotion & support in the library very difficult. We don't have a mobile-friendly website either. Last year I had a look at our google analytics for the website & the page-access profile for mobile use was different than for non-mobile use which was interesting and I'll review later this year.
