The library endeavours to facilitate easy access to information at the point of need. SmartPhones (Mobile phones with data capabilities such as Blackberry, iPhones and other web-enabled phones) have the capability to support ubiquitous access to medical information. They are handheld computers that have gained popularity as a tool for accessing information at the point of need as well as managing daily tasks.

The library’s SmartPhone project aims to promote the culture and use of SmartPhones (as well as iPhones) in clinical work.
