From the iPad to eReaders, gadgets are everywhere. As these personal electronic devices become ubiquitous in everyday life, it's essential that libraries are fluent in their language.

Led by Jason Griffey, associate professor and chief technology strategist at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. His latest book Mobile Technology and Libraries is now available as a part of ALA Neal Schuman's Tech Set.
