Abstract

Librarians are currently ahead of their libraries in the use of handheld equipment, especially smart phones, and this is how many libraries have been able to launch their first initiatives related to mobility of content. This system has emerged spontaneously in libraries, but is receiving special attention from companies, where it is called "bring your own device" (BYOD) and seems to be a way to save costs. On the other hand, BYOD raises the need for appropriate policies to address security risks. Theimplemen-tation of a BYOD system in libraries is discussed, paying attention to potential advantages and disadvan-tages and some practical questions.
