This session looks at the hottest mobile search provider offerings and potential applications for information seekers and librarians. Users on the go don’t want to wade through a list of Web results—they want answers to their questions. Hear what makes mobile search different from a regular search engine, learn about the most interesting and unique features of these services, and get a sneak peek at what’s coming down the development pike for mobile search.

Fox provides a fast-paced overview of the current hardware available and how new technologies are making hand-held computers not just palatable but preferable for on-the-go users. She highlights the latest developments in applications for mobile and hand-held tools and how these can and are being utilized by libraries and information seekers of all kinds. Come hear what’s happening with traditional information vendors and mobile interfaces, the mobile optimized Web, point-of-need answers, reference texting, and multimedia (such as podcasting and location-free TV) for your mobile device.
