摘要

Based on the methods of online investigation,questionnaires and effectiveness tests,we investigated the National Library and thirty-one provincial public libraries for evaluating current status of mobile library.Comparative analysis of mobile service was carried out between the public libraries of China and the top 25 US public libraries.The results reveal that:currently,mobile service in China is less widespread and the modes of mobile service mainly focus on WAP and APP;mobile libraries provide diverse mobile services and abundant library resources,and services are personalized and interactive.However,the process of mobile library service is not perfect.Mobile services lack innovation,and appear low awareness and insufficient effectiveness.Both Chinese and American public libraries have some advantages.Public hbraries in China provide more rich services and resources.Mobile services among US public hbraries possess more humanization and refinement,integrate with mobile terminals in better ways,and have a rich display collection information.
