Abstract

As the smartphone market has expanded and university students in their twenties account for the largest portion of the market, university libraries need to provide mobile library services to keep up with students' growing demand in mobile services. The purpose of this study is to analyze the status and trends of mobile services in Korean university libraries. This study investigated mobile services of 434 university libraries in Korea and 114 ones which are members of ARL during the months of September and November in 2012. As a result, this study found that university libraries in Korea were offering 55 mobile Web and 29 mobile application services with 11.2 and 10.7 contents respectively. In addition, on the basis of the identified current problems, this study suggested further steps for developing and improving mobile services in Korean university libraries.
