Mobile technologies such as PDAs/smart phones, cell phones, iPods/ MP3 players, tablets, and other devices are being increasingly used in educational settings. Mobile technologies have tremendous potential in supporting and improving higher education with an undergraduate research focus. The explosion in these new technologies can add a whole new dimension to conducting research. This presentation will discuss these changes and focus on how these interactive mobile technologies can be used to benefit undergraduate student research. Attendees will hear a librarian’s perspective regarding the effects of mobile technologies on the information-seeking behavior of undergraduate students.
