Abstract
A 2012 project provided 48 health sciences librarians from primarily hospital and academic health sciences libraries with an Apple iPad2 along with training and support on its use. Project objectives were to determine how participants would adopt the iPad into their daily operations and what form of leadership role they would play while participating in the project. By project’s end, 89% indicated that they would continue using the iPad primarily as a productivity tool and to provide point-of-need services. Project data indicated that librarians assumed a leadership role promoting the use of mobile technology and the applications available.
