Integrating Android and iPad tablets into your library
By. Earl Givens, Jr. and Art Gutierrez

2. About Us
Earl Givens, Jr. is the E-Resources/Serials librarian at Emporia State University. Always on the cutting edge of technology, Earl is labeled as a risk taker, involved in library projects that push the envelope in academic libraries. Art Gutierrez is the Head of Systems and Technical Services at William Allen White Library at ESU. I enjoy working with new technologies but prefer not to be on the bleeding edge.
