The main strands of discussion include: Imagination - looking at the future of m-libraries; Transformation - focusing on the transformation of services, learners or institutions through the introduction of mobile technologies; Inspiration - focusing on mobile innovation; Implementation - case studies of successful implementation of mobile services; Collaboration - a discussion of mobile strategy and ideas.
