CHOICE Review

Not only practicing professionals but also advanced undergraduates thinking about their career options will find the concepts and platforms described in this edited volume useful for illuminating mobile applications and deploying them in academic settings. Canuel (McGill Univ., Canada) and Crichton (Univ. of Toronto, Scarborough, Canada) have collected information on various projects at 17 US and Canadian academic libraries where staff have implemented mobile technologies in advantageous ways. Chapter contributors describe the outcomes of projects ranging from website redesign to wearable technologies. Of particular interest is a project at Metropolitan University to revamp their website to be more mobile friendly by using the results of usability studies. Another creative idea is Texas A & M's library-instruction project incorporating student selfies to answer programmed questions about research at the library. Although a monograph may not be the most responsive venue for promoting innovation, this collection offers reproducible ideas about mobile technology that will be useful to those in institutions with technologically proficient personnel. Mobile devices are something that academic librarians must learn to leverage, and as the editors state in their introduction, will enable those who embrace them to extend "the library's walls" to reach students, faculty, and wider audiences. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners. --Debbi Dinkins, Stetson University
