Going Mobile

I haven't had time before now to mention the great OCLS "webinar" a number of us attended on Wednesday about Mobile Reference.

My wiki notes pretty much say it all, but we were really excited by the thought of:

• approaching patrons where they need help--in the stacks!
• using hands-free communicators to call others (or security)
• using PPCs or small laptops to perform catalog queries in the stacks
• creating a taller reference desk: see patrons eye-to-eye
