| Abstract: | This column outlines some steps and decisions involved in the process of establishing a mobile resources collection development policy. Initial decisions should be made about what platforms will be supported and how the workflow will be organized. There are many criteria to consider when evaluating apps, including subject relevance, quality of content, reputation of the producer/publisher, cost, access, legal issues, and copyright and fair use issues. We describe many resources for gathering apps for potential collection and address solutions for promoting and disseminating the mobile resources. Finally, we address the evaluation of the program and future areas for research. © 2014, Antonio P. DeRosa and Sarah T. Jewell. |
