Abstract

This study aims to emphasize the importance of mobile technologies in terms of library services, and to examine the perceptions of university students regarding their access to library and information services via mobile phones, taking into account the use of mobile phones. In the study, data were obtained through a questionnaire using the descriptive method. The data were collected from university students using the library of Balıkesir University. A sample of 410 students was selected within the scope of the study. The results demonstrated that the participants' views on accessing library services using mobile technology were mostly positive and they were particularly willing in terms of accessing remote services, electronic resources, and audio-visual materials via mobile technologies.
