New Book > Library Technology Reports > Libraries and the Mobile Web / Cody Hanson ALA TechSource / 978-0-8389-5830-8 / $43.00 What evidence would provide a good indication that the day had come for your library to focus concerted efforts on mobile services?

Perhaps if smartphone sales began to approach sales of PCs? If major information service providers were shifting their focus from the desktop to mobile devices?
