UMDNJ University Libraries' first mobile initiative started in 2010. This session will review the timeline from the creation of the mobile working group, to finding funding, the purchase of devices, and finally distribution to four campuses. We will use the story of the unexpected challenges and final successes as a way to increase awareness of issues surrounding new technology and large institutions, including hospital security, staff comfort, mobile device security, institutional purchasing and finally, that it is possible to incorporate mobile and emergent technologies into medical libraries. We will end with a review of where we are today and future plans.
