Mobil uygulamalar ve teknolojideki gelişim mobil telefonların yoğunlukla kullanılmasını sağlamıştır. Gelişen teknoloji, mobil telefonları geleneksel telefon özelliklerini taşımaktan çıkartıp günlük yaşamda ihtiyaç duyulacak hemen her bilgiye erişim sağlayacak araçlar hâline getirmiştir. Bu çerçevede çalışmamızda Hacettepe Üniversitesi Bilgi ve Belge Yönetimi Bölümü öğrencilerinin mobil telefon kullanım özellikleri betimleme yöntemi ile araştırılmaktadır. Çalışmamız çerçevesinde öğrencilerin mobil araç kullanım özellikleri, teknolojik araç değiştirme eğilimleri, mobil araçlardan Genel Ağ (İnternet) kullanımları ve teknolojik araç seçiminde etkili olan etmenlerin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen veriler anket tekniğiyle 137 öğrenciden toplanmış, PASW programı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarında öğrencilerin mobil telefon kullanım deneyiminin ortalama yedi buçuk yıl olduğu, mobil telefon seçimlerinde performans, kullanım kolaylığı ve tasarım özelliklerinin önemli olduğu, mobil Genel Ağ kullanımlarında ise e-posta kontrolü ve sosyal ağ takibinin yer aldığı ortaya çıkmıştır.
