Abstract

Presentation on the research and development of experimental mobile applications. Software developed includes a collections-based wayfinding application for Android phones; this resource locates the mobile device in the building and then guides students to the location of items in the library. Session will include assessment methods of mobile applications and present assessment data. Researchers used a methodology of formative rapid user evaluation to ensure that software would be useful and used by library patrons.
