I am taking an online course about mobile apps. It is true what they say about there being an app for just about anything you could want. Fortunately, this isn't about how to create an app, just an exploration of what is out there and how they work. I am floored by the pages of apps listed for us to consider, and that is just a drop in the bucket. I read with interest the reviews others in the course put on our blog. Some of the apps would be helpful for library research.
I don't have a lot of time right now to download and learn too many, but I am hoping to explore at least a dozen and then feature one a month in the campus newsletter, ones that will be of interest to faculty and students. In fact, I am finding webpages that various libraries have created which list research helpful apps. While I do admit that most of the people on this campus who own iPads are faculty, there are lots of smartphones out there in the hands of our students. It is fast becoming a brave new world. I just hope I can keep up!
