Most topics pertaining to mobile technologies in the library world focus on information or service delivery to users on their mobile devices. My interest is support to academic researchers and specifically data collection in the field. This is meant both literally in that we are an agricultural university and we have many researchers who work with crops, soils, etc. It is also meant more figuratively in reference to research projects that involve international data collection, especially in developing countries. There are many issues to be explored including data capture, data storage, data security, collaboration and data sharing, syncing from the mobile device to the desktop, electonic laboratory notebook software, etc.
I would be happy to present this as a 15-minute talk or have it accepted as a discussion topic.
