This is an experimental development and we would like to invite you to join the community and try it out, and leave us feedback on what you think – whether or not you think it is useful, how it could be improved, or alternative ideas."

> M-Libraries Conference 2012 > 24-26 September 2012

The main theme for the conference this year is "From margin to mainstream: mobile technologies transforming lives and libraries"

The Fourth International m-libraries Conference / 24-26 September 2012 / The Open University, UK

Mobile technology has transformed so many aspects of our lives: how we work, how we communicate, how we study and how we play. Since the first successful M-libraries conference in 2007, libraries around the world have made huge advances in harnessing the technology to improve and enhance their services. The Fourth conference will bring together researchers, technical developers, managers and library practitioners to review achievements to date and consider the creative challenges and opportunities ahead.
