A brand new edition of the highly successful M-Libraries series, this draws together cutting-edge international contributions from the leading authorities in the field.

The main strands of discussion include:
- mobile services and their development
- mobile users, their behaviour and requirements
- emerging technical developments including new platforms, devices and applications
- strategy and infrastructure developments at national level
- reflections and feedback on new service models
