The evolution of technology presents both risks and opportunities for academic librarians. In this collection of essays, the authors explore their responses as they need to adapt their spaces, collections, teaching, and services to the new possibilities. By understanding how mobile technology changes the behavior of our users, we can improve our services to better contribute to their research and learning needs.
