Abstract
Mobile technology use is increasing and will soon have an impact on medical libraries. This article provides a brief background of the history of mobile computing as well as the impact of devices such as the iPhone, BlackBerry, and Google Android. Strategies for library development as well as challenges are included to help medical libraries understand the nature of developing mobile content for Web-enabled devices.
The authors would like to thank David Moody, Ellen Ramsey, Andrea Horne, Lawton Campell, and all of the collaborators and colleagues at the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library for their hard work on the Library's mobile site, resources, and services.
