Have been working with colleague Paul and a librarian at the University of Swaziland on a project to test the use of mobile phone technology in increasing awareness and usage of library resources and services. Interest among students and staff to be inolved in the oner month trial has been overwhelming, almost triple our target number of participants. Funnily, it has been impossible to create a control group of UNISWA students who will actively *not* have acess to txt messages from the UNISWA library. Everyone wants to take part!
