<p>In this paper we report on two surveys and offer an introductory plan that librarians may use to begin implementing mobile access to selected library databases and services. Results from the first survey helped us to gain insight into where students at Utah State University (USU) in Logan, Utah, stand regarding their use of mobile devices for academic activities in general and their desire for access to library services and resources in particular. A second survey, conducted with librarians, gave us an idea of the extent to which responding libraries offer mobile access, their future plans for mobile implementation, and their opinions about whether and how mobile technologies may be useful to library patrons. In the last segment of the paper, we outline steps librarians can take as they “go mobile.”<em> </em></p>

Insight Into

Coronavirus has a clear negative impact on academic and research activities. Issues created by such pandemic e.g. loss of communication; shut down of school, college and universities; disruption of the formal learning process etc provoke us for the transformation of the learning process from conventional to digital. The primary requirement of this transformation is the availability of a sophisticated, affordable and multitasking tool for providing library services. It is now challenging for the libraries to satisfy their user needs and time to rethink and remodel their services by adopting technological changes. Today mobile phones are becoming an integral part of everyday life and are changing the way one connects and interacts with the world. This paper presents an outline of the concept and the application of developments in mobile telecommunication systems, web technologies to provide ubiquitous, user-friendly, personalized and dynamic up to date information services to the users of a library. Also, further studies are expanded to provide insight into the benefits and challenges against the implementation of mobile technologies to support this ‘new normal’ in the libraries. The practical and theoretical implications of the results have been explored.

Проведен анализ использования мобильных технологий при обработке персональных данных в медицинских информационных системах. Мобильные технологии как объект обеспечения информационной безопасности характеризуются рядом критических уязвимостей, связанных с недостатками реализации мобильных устройств (смартфонов, планшетов, смарт устройств, различных периферийных устройств смартфонов и т.п.), технологий предоставления доступа к интернету для мобильных систем (используемые в сетях сотовой связи, беспроводного доступа) и серверной части медицинских информационных систем. В связи с обработкой в медицинских информационных системах с мобильными устройствами персональных данных специальной категории защита от угроз безопасности информации требует особого внимания и определена на законодательном уровне. В руководящих документах регуляторов обработки персональных данных России вопросы защиты информации при использовании мобильных технологий не рассматриваются в связи с новизной проблемы. В этой связи проблема обеспечения безопасности персональных данных в медицинских информационных системах с применением мобильных технологий является актуальной. В статье рассматриваются принципы построения мобильных приложений, используемых для работы с медицинскими информационными системами, и их серверных частей. На основе анализа актуальной модели угроз безопасности информации мобильных технологий и средств защиты информации, применяемых при использовании мобильных систем, предлагается система защиты для медицинских информационных систем, использующих мобильный доступ The analysis of the use of mobile technologies in the processing of personal data (PD) in medical information systems (MIS). Mobile technologies as an object of information security are characterized by a number of critical vulnerabilities associated with the implementation flaws of mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, smart devices, various peripheral devices of smartphones, etc.), technologies for providing Internet access for mobile systems (used in cellular networks, wireless access) and the server part of the MIS. In connection with the processing of personal data of a special category in MIS with mobile devices, protection against BI threats requires special attention and is defined at the legislative level. In the guidance documents of the regulators of the processing of personal data in Russia, the issues of information protection when using mobile technologies are not considered due to the novelty of the problem. In this regard, the problem of ensuring the security of PD in MIS using mobile technologies is urgent. The article discusses the principles of building mobile applications used to work with MIS and their server parts. Based on the analysis of the current threat model of information security mobile technologies and information security tools used when using mobile systems, a protection system for MIS using mobile access is proposed

Website Use

This exploratory study examined the use of the Oregon State University Libraries website via mobile devices by advanced researchers at an off-campus branch location. Branch campus–affiliated faculty, staff, and graduate students were invited to participate in a survey to determine what their research behaviors are via mobile devices, including frequency of their mobile library website use and the tasks they were attempting to complete. Findings showed that while these advanced researchers do periodically use the library website via mobile devices, mobile devices are not the primary mode of searching for articles and books or for reading scholarly sources. Mobile devices are most frequently used for viewing the library website when these advanced researchers are at home or in transit. Results of this survey will be used to address knowledge gaps around library resources and research tools and to generate more ways to study advanced researchers’ use of library services via mobile devices.

<p>Academic libraries have traditionally provided computers for students to access their collections and, more recently, facilitate all aspects of studying. Recent changes in technology, particularly the increased presence of mobile devices, calls into question how libraries can best provide technology support and how it might impact the use of other library services. A two-year study conducted at California State University San Marcos library analyzed student use of the computers in the library, both the library’s own desktop computers and laptops owned by students.  The results found that, despite the increased ownership of mobile technology by students, they still clearly preferred to use desktop computers in the library. It also showed that students who used computers in the library were more likely to use other library services and physical collections.</p>
