This document summarizes a presentation on the state of mobile technologies in Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) libraries. It discusses how 1) some TBR library websites can now be accessed via mobile pages, 2) a few libraries offer mobile access to databases, and 3) a small number lend out e-readers and tablets like Kindles, iPads, and Sonys. It also notes plans for several libraries to begin lending iPads within the next six months. The document concludes by saying the survey of mobile technologies in TBR libraries will be repeated next year.
