Overview

Touch screens, speech recognition, conversational interfaces, and augmented reality revolutionize the way people interact with the screen. Adaptive technology, which once required specialized hardware and software, is now built-in. Older readers may adjust font size to their needs while younger patrons can interact with library content by touch, not keystrokes. These and similar technologies, called Natural User Interfaces, also support the core library value of access for all. With ideas for library programming and resources built for mobile devices, this Library Technology Report covers such topics as: accessibility features in iOS and Android; apps that make your physical space and your content accessible to people with disabilities; how devices can work together to create an ecosystem; and using mobile devices to create content.
