Mobile Technology in Libraries is full of information about how to manage the devices and technologies that are increasingly handheld and mobile these days. The chapter on wearable technology alone is worth the price of the book - it, as in the other chapters in the book, contains a wealth of information about how libraries can understand and make use of these technologies in libraries. This book can show any librarian some really great ideas on how to incorporate mobile technology into their library - or just help them understand how their patrons use it a bit better.

Rawlins has written a perfect primer for library administrators, trustees, and friends on the current state of mobile technologies in libraries and some of the many possibilities for the future. Providing a solid background and just enough technical detail, Rawlins offers information to help decision-makers ask better questions of vendors and library staff when considering new tools or services. The chapter on how mobile devices have an impact on the digital divide is particularly useful for reasons to expand services.
