Redesigning library applications for PDAs: ILS vendor perspective
Abstract
One of the barometers of the level of demand placed on libraries to evolve their services is the rate at which the library automation vendors release enhancements, new features, and entirely new product lines to serve the library marketplace. An area in which new technology and library needs intersect is in the area of development for PDAs (personal digital assistants) and other handheld devices enabled for wireless communication. There is little doubt about the opportunities presented by PDAs and wireless technology to enhance library services. However, barriers remain to the real‐world adoption of many of these solutions, chief among them the rate of user adoption of these technologies.
