“…Much of the literature has centered on the use of tablets in libraries’ public service areas, such as traditional and roving reference, or for circulation programs, as well as for internal use by library staff as productivity tools[2]. Although Gibeault (2015, p. 221) asserts that “[…] the iPad represents strong potential as a replacement for desktop computers for use in undergraduate library instruction sessions,” a bulk of the research maintains that tablets are not yet poised to overthrow the superior computational and functional capacity of desktop or laptop computers (Nguyen et al , 2015, Sullivan, 2014; Tran and Meadow, 2014; Maloney and Wells, 2012). A more likely challenger to the traditional desktop or laptop computer would be a hybrid device such as the Microsoft Surface Pro series, which incorporates the power of a laptop with a touchscreen.…”

Purpose This paper describes the creation and work of a collaborative learning community, consisting of library staff from a variety of library departments. The purpose of this paper is to build proficiency in using tablet devices and to explore the potential application of tablets to various types of library work. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from discussion sessions, journals, and a survey, which documented participants’ experiences in learning how to use tablets and how they applied them to work-related tasks. Findings The project helped increase participants’ awareness of different types of work across the library, encouraged inter-departmental communication, and provided an open environment for asking questions, trouble-shooting, and sharing tips about using tablets. Participants mastered basic functions and navigation and explored ways to use tablets in their work. Portability was the top advantage of the tablet. Originality/value Although participants found tablets to be convenient and portable for some tasks, they are not ready to entirely replace office computers for library work. Laptops remain a more flexible and powerful option at this time.

A number of academic librarians have shared their experiences with tablet computers, but fewer examine how librarians use tablets in their instruction design. While the education literature provides models for understanding technology integration, the unique nature of academic library instruction requires adapting these models to the library classroom. After reviewing literature related to tablets in library instruction and a number of educational technology integration frameworks, this paper demonstrates an application of the SAMR framework to analyze observations of an iPad-equipped classroom at a single university library. Demonstrating the use of a framework in this way provides librarians with an approach to technology integration and continues the discussion about tablets' potential to promote innovative pedagogy.
