“…to support current trends in students' information consumption and preferences. Many libraries already provide subscriptions to streaming film databases such as Kanopy or record their own library events and tutorials for posting on their websites or video platforms (Lowe et al, 2020) In the context of a clear trend of mediatization, it is noteworthy that despite the fact that about half of the respondents said they prefer reading paper books (51.7% and 43.2%), 73% and 45.9% of the respondents mentioned using mobile applications to read books, and a third of those who answered the questionnaire expressed interest in the library mobile application of fiction (44.9% and 43.2%), popular science (29.2% and 16.2%) and educational (25.8% and 29.7%) literature (Figure 7). These findings show a clear demand for both print and e-book resources.…”

Purpose This study aims to determine college/university students’ mobile phone practices to understand key user preferences and set a baseline understanding for the development of prospective library informational mobile services. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on the results of an online-survey method. The authors recruited students majoring in the Information Science program in School of Information at Pratt Institute (USA) (74 participants) and in Kyiv National University of Cultural and Arts (Ukraine) (89 participants). Findings The general trends in the use of mobile technologies by American and Ukrainian students were identified. Key components of library mobile services are offered. Such services may include information and reference service via messengers; development of library mobile applications of audio and video content; access to educational, scientific, popular science literature and fiction; and supplementing online services with library chatbots. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to only students majoring in information science at university; however, the data obtained helps outline several general trends common to student youth who are actively working with information. Practical implications The obtained results will be useful in the practical activities of libraries and other information institutions for the development of a comprehensive information service based on mobile technology. Originality/value This study contributes to understanding how to improve library informational service considering users habits and preferences. Libraries management and librarians can use the findings as a basis for prioritizing the improvement of library informational mobile service.

“…In a report on the experiences of six academic libraries with PDA, only one library was able to continue using the model. The rest found that, although a mediated model requires more staff time, it was necessary to manage costs (Lowe et al, 2020). Mediating requests allows libraries to prioritize educational uses of video over entertainment and use subject funds for streaming video acquisitions (Lowe et al, 2020;Tanasse, 2021).…”

The vast majority of academic libraries offer streaming video services to support teaching and research, and demand for this already popular format from faculty and students increased when libraries closed their physical locations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite its popularity, many users are unfamiliar with copyright and terms of use for video content. Use of streaming video is further complicated by its availability on a variety of platforms using different licensing models. This case study shows how the Penn State University Libraries (PSUL) helped librarians, faculty, and students navigate access to video content for remote instruction during the pandemic. The examples of training library staff, educating faculty and students, and streamlining internal processes can be adapted by all academic libraries to provide greater access to video content. Demand for streaming video will continue even when libraries return to full in-person operations, so these approaches will continue to be relevant.
