The University of Tennessee

In the last decade libraries have struggled to keep up with the growing popularity of mobile technologies. With Project MISSILE (Mobile Information Skills and Solutions in Library Education), a planning grant to the University of Tennessee, Dr. Devendra Potnis, with Dr. Ed Cortez and Dr. Suzie Allard, will put together interdisciplinary graduate coursework for LIS students to serve as mobile technology consultants for libraries. They will develop a new course titled "Mobile Application Development"; create new modules for two existing courses; and form an advisory board of experts in mobile applications and related technologies.
