"m-library services" mostly refers to library services delivered via telecommunications and computer technology (the old-style mobile library was the bookmobile), where the librarian can assist patrons, regardless of the physical location of the patron or the librarian.

The technological changes that have developed allowing for mobile library services have grown at mind boggling speed over the last 20 years. This book provides examples of mobile services for libraries from The Alliance Library System; Biblioteca Rector Gabriel Ferraté, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya; Champlain College, Burlington, VT; Murray State University, New York University, Oregon State University, Penn State Abington, and Ryerson University.
