Keren Mills

Keren is the Innovations Officer in the Research and Innovations Team in the Open University Library & Learning Resources Centre. She is primarily responsible for running the Digilab, which is a staff development resource in the library for Open University staff, giving them the opportunity to get hands-on with a range of educational technologies. Keren also undertakes horizon scanning around technologies that could be used to improve library services, such as mobile technologies, social networking software and gaming. She is an active user of social networks and can be found on Twitter, Flickr, Del.icio.us and others.

The focus of her fellowship will be on finding out how people use their mobile phones to access or use information on the move. This will inform development of library services to mobile devices. The findings will be reported at the Second International M-Libraries conference in June 2009.
