Just Another Format: Integrating Resources for Users of Personal Digital Assistants
Koufogiannakis, Denise; Ryan, Pam; Dahl, Susan
Acquisitions Librarian, v17 n33-34 p133-145 2005
This article discusses the integration of library resources for users of personal digital assistants (PDAs), with a focus on collections issues within an academic environment. The University of Alberta Libraries' PDA services initiative is used as an example of integrating services and resources into a library collection. Licensing issues, loaning of PDA books on expansion cards, cataloguing and processing of PDA books, and making existing resources PDA-accessible are all discussed. Although PDA integration is still at the early stages within libraries, there is much that libraries can do to support users of personal digital assistants. (Contains 2 tables, 8 resources and 28 online resources.)
