Abstract: Although web sites accessed on phones are the most obvious type of mobile Internet use, they're not the only kind. This chapter provides other examples of mobile library services that can be geared toward diverse populations: audiobook collections, text reference and notification, and device lending programs. Where possible, the focus is on inexpensive ways to implement these services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
