: Enhancing Our Library Services By KM Ku and Dave Low University of Hong Kong Libraries

Searching with your Palm...

Why PDA delivery option? Libraries are in the information collection and distribution business We spend 27% of our collection development budget annually on electronic forms of information But just owning the information is worthless unless we can distribute it to our faculty and students. But because Hong Kong is a wireless society, with 83.5% of its citizens using a mobile phones, we decided that we should provide our students and faculty with access to our information resources using hand-held devices

We begin with Palm because There are already large numbers of educational databases that have been adopted to PDA use The Tungsten C is wireless and it can take advantage of the technology already in place at HKU They were enthusiastic about wanting to partner with us to develop HKU Libraries-specific software

Wireless Hot Spots – the trend Source: PC Magazine, Sep 16, 2003, p.25.

- Launched 6 Oct 2003 HKU Libraries partners with PalmOne, Syracuse International (donated software) and Sun Microsystems (donated server). Hong Kong’s first wireless LAN enabled Palm handheld solution to access library resources and services.

Where to go wireless? Over 200 Wireless access points have been installed on campus. 22 Wireless access points have been installed inside the Main Library

Wireless Access Point Within 70 m range
