The Smart Phones and Mobile Computing Special Interest Group (SIG) is born from the PDA & Handheld Computing SIG, which ceased activity in March 2008. This group is composed of individuals from all types of libraries interested in personal digital assistants and other handheld electronic technologies (e.g. smart phone, tablet PCs). Through meetings, events and other shared-learning opportunities, members explore innovative ways libraries can use these technologies to enhance staff workflow, provide patron services, and support users.
