This 91-page study looks closely at how public libraries are using tablet computers, smartphones and eBook readers. It helps librarians to answer questions such as: How many libraries have tablet computers? How many loan them out to patrons? What is their stock of tablets? What brands do they prefer? How much do they currently spend and plan to spend on tablets, smartphones and eBook readers in the future? How are they using tablets? How have tablets affected reference, information literacy, children's librarianship, administration and other areas? How have tablets impacted their buying plans for desktop and laptop computers? Which apps do they use? Have they developed their own apps? How likely are public libraries to buy certain specific brands such as Kindle, iPad or products from specific companies such as Asus, SONY, Motorola or Apple?
