One of the main factors which direct people to use this technology is that these devices allow to reach intended content at anytime without depending on any place. This ability also helps the applications developed by designers make more interaction with the target users. The websites which are already one of the most used technology product at reaching information since the past, can be transmitted to more user groups than before on mobile devices through one of the popular trends "Responsive Web Design (RWD)". This concept has began to have an important place at designing the mobil compatible websites. The purpose of this study is to determine how successful the current website of Kırklareli University designed with RWD as mobile compatible is at interacting with users relative to the former web site which was not mobile compatible. In accordance with this purpose, a comparative analysis has been made between the former website and the current website by using Google Analytics (GA) reports on the bases of user visitation. In order to support this analysis, the periodical change of students amount was used. As the result of this study which searches the success difference between the current website and the former website in terms of visitors' choice, it is determined that the current website which is developed with RWD is 3,7 times precede in terms of amount of visitors, 3,2 times precede in terms of the rate of visitor interaction and aproximately 2,7 times precede in terms of the rate of page demonstration. This result reveals that the current website which is designed as mobile competible, is more succesful at interacting with users.

Mobile Technologies (m-tech) have been embraced by stakeholders of academic libraries globally in recent times as a medium that can offer convenient library services to library patrons. This study was to ascertain the potentials of adopting and implementing m-tech based library services in academic libraries in Ghana. The study was a descriptive survey and the mixedmethod approach was used. The major findings were that there were a strong awareness and deep appreciation for the use of mtech library services among library management and students, however, m-tech based library services have not been implemented in the libraries due to diverse reasons. These include inadequate ICT infrastructure, skills gap as a result of lack of training, lack of policy framework for the adoption of the technology and clearing the hurdle of convincing university management to accept the technology. As a result, it was recommended that the libraries need to invest more in ICT infrastructure specifically m-tech infrastructure and build on their human resource base through recruitment and professional training on emerging technologies
