Summary/Abstract: This paper provides a brief introduction of mobile technology applications and its use in library services. The paper also examines the types of mobile applications for librarians, and highlights specific applications that are available to librarians. There are briefly described the prominent features of the application, and the advantages and the potential disadvantages. The author attempts to note important considerations, such as security, reliability, availability, and cost, that library professionals must be aware of before using mobile applications. Mobile applications for access to libraries, except that they allow access to library collections, they enable advanced features, such as lending books, search the archives and others. It is also said that library mobile applications are "libraries that fit in your pocket". We have few libraries that have developed a mobile application, unlike those in the world. The paper will present the expectations and possibilities of using library mobile applications in our country.
