Gerry McKiernan alerts us to a program that took place last week at Yale University in New Haven, CT. Several of the presentations are now online. The Yale Handheld Librarian Facebook page lists the speakers.
Kelly Barrick Reference and Instruction Coordinator, Social Science Library: In the spring of 2009, Yale University Library rolled out a new text reference service called Text a Librarian to complement its existing instant messaging service (known as AskLive). Kelly will describe how this service was implemented, demonstrate how it works and share what kinds of results have been achieved.
Geoffrey Little Library Communications Coordinator: Geoffrey will briefly discuss how mobile technologies can compliment and add value to existing library services and work to support the Yale Library's broader mission to support students and researchers.
Joe Murphy - libraryfuture on Twitter Coordinator for Instruction and Technology, Kline Science Library: Mobile Technologies & Libraries, Text Message Reference & Beyond. Joe (libraryfuture on Twitter) will suggest a strategy for meeting the future of applying library services and collections to mobile technology.
Lisa Carlucci Thomas - lisacarlucci on Twitter former Digital Collections Librarian: Lisa will discuss her research study on mobile access to Yale's licensed e-book collections and share her findings and recommendations for providing mobile access to e-books at Yale.
Presentations Now Available:

Note from Gary:
I pointed out several weeks ago during Internet Librarian that the Twitter archive of tweet does not exist for that long. What's available one week could easily be gone within a week or two. The archive is always refreshing itself. That's why I created a permanent archive of Internet Librarian tweets using a service named Twapper Keeper.
The mobile libraries program at Yale also created a permanent Twitter archive using Twapper Keeper. It can be accessed here.
