We're no hardware store, and we should not become one. But we should know whats for sale put there and definitely what is being used.
The introduction of the HP IPAQ as standard mobile phone in hospital was a breakthrough. Doctors, specialist can be pretty independent, and IT standards in a large organisation can be pretty restrictive.. Anyone recognizes this? With this phone they were abled to manage things themselves, email became portable, accessible outside, schedule/calendar, and .... The web! Web 2.0 gave users even more control and creativity to make things work their way... This was the time of the so-called "pirate" era The amount of external corporate web activity is an indication for the level of user-driven IT-development and support ( or the lack of it)

Technology seperates content from format, location and time. But at what point does the information "come in" Where does it come from? Apps are just another new delivery tool for information. That's where libraries should come in, make sure its done the right way, using the resources from the library, To get the information to the user, in a format he chooses, on a location he needs it, the moment he needs it.
