Libraries are moving quickly beyond banning of phones and embracing the potential of mobile technologies. Some do this by providing a more welcoming physical space for phones, and others are developing SMS reference and mobile-friendly sites. As ownership of mobile-enabled devices increases not only in developed nations but in the developing world, the mobile web has enormous potential to be a lightweight, flexible architecture solution to bridging the digital divide.

I’ve put together a page of resources on the mobile web and uses for libraries. Please feel free to contribute links to projects and mobile resources for this page in the comments or on our wiki.
