As part of the preparation for the LJ Virtual Tech Summit on December 8, LJ featured Q&As with some of the panelists, including Michael Whitchurch, chair of the Learning Commons Department in the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University, Provo, UT. LJ asked him about mobile usage in libraries: LJ: What mobile trends do you think are gaining momentum in libraries? Whitchurch: The ability to use the Wi-Fi hubs for location services is a trend that is gaining more ground. This has campuswide potential, as many buildings have little or no cell phone or GPS service. Some institutions are currently developing, testing, and refining the technology for this use (e.g., Durham University, UK; University of Oulu, Finland; University of California at Berkeley; and University of the Aegean, Mytilene, Greece).

Lee图书馆的学习共享部主席Michael Whitchurch。 LJ问他有关图书馆中移动设备的使用情况：LJ：您认为图书馆中哪些移动趋势正在发展？惠特彻奇（Whitchurch）：使用Wi-Fi集线器进行位置服务的能力是一种趋势，并且正在取得更大的发展。由于许多建筑物几乎没有或没有手机或GPS服务，因此这具有在整个校园范围内的潜力。一些机构目前正在开发，测试和改进用于此用途的技术（例如，英国的达勒姆大学；芬兰的奥卢大学；加利福尼亚大学的伯克利分校；以及希腊的米蒂利尼的爱琴海大学）。
