• Bibliographic management on mobile devices

  by Mike Jones

  The session will include a presentation on the m-biblio project (http://mbiblio.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/) which is being undertaken at the University of Bristol. The project is funded by JISC under the m-library innovation programme and runs until the end of July 2012.

  The project is investigating the use of mobile devices in capturing references and looking at how it might be possible to gather useful statistics for the Library, including data about library items that are often confined to branches such as periodicals, journals and reference books. The presentation will cover a number of topics, including technical issues and findings from a workshop held with students on the challenges they face in managing references.

  There will be plenty of time to discuss any issues raised in the presentation or other issues relating to bibliographic management.

  At 2:30pm to 3:15pm, Tuesday 8th May
