Oh sweet, sweet blog, I am so glad that you're back!
And now that you are here once again, it's straight down to business. Did you know that we began testing handhelds in the library today? Our group's goal is to identify devices that are effective for roving reference, usage in instructional situations, and more.
The four lucky handhelds are:
--The Fujitsu Lifebook U810 (aka my Midwinter companion)
--
the Sony VAIO UX-490! (this is like the Miss America pageant, isn't it?)
-- The Nokia N-810 Tablet
and the OQO Model 2!
Library Learning Services and the Business Library / Social Sciences Library will test these four devices over the next two weeks. Then Arts & Humanities and PAMS will try them out for a week.
If you're interested in learning more about the handheld pilot, visit the Test Group Wiki. If you're interested in helping test a device or two, just ask.
