Event The Future of Mobile - LITA Forum Preconference

The Future of Mobile     

Jason Griffey, University of Tennessee - Chattanooga

A continuation of the article that appeared in NetConnect this past year, "Stranger Than We Know". The workshop will expand on the ideas from the article, including how service models in libraries change with ubiquitous computing, and how content delivery becomes much, much different. Registrants will look at specific tools that are currently available that model the direction that mobile is moving.

Jason Griffey is the Head of Library Information Technology at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. His latest book, Library Blogging, written with Karen A Coombs, is available now from Linworth Press and can be ordered through Amazon. Jason's next book, Mobile Technology and Libraries, is due out this fall from Neal Schuman as a part of their upcoming "Tech Set." His primary online residence is Pattern Recognition, his personal and professional blog, which has been active since 2003. He is an administrator and author for LITABlog(www.litablog.org), and is also a columnist for the ALA Techsource blog(www.ts.ala.org/blogs/jason-griffey). Jason was named one of Library Journal's Movers & Shakers in 2009, and he regularly speaks and writes on libraries, social networking, mobile technology, and other technology related issues. He can be contacted online at griffey@gmail.com, or follow him on twitter @griffey.
