Emanating from the ground-breaking Library KEYWORDS Roving librarian, outreach, academic libraries, tablets, Library Impact Data Project IntroductionThis is an action research study conducted on the roving librarian project at the University of The propensity to rush, rely on point-and-click, first-up-on-Google answers, along with growing unwillingness to wrestle with nuances or uncertainties...or inability to evaluate information, keeps the young especially stuck on the surface of the "information" age, too often sacrificing depth for breadth. (Nicholas 2011, 44) The situation is often compounded by some tutors who themselves lack appropriate skills and confidence in using information technologies, thereby providing a poor example to students who, evidence suggests, are strongly influenced by their example (Beetham, McGill, and Littlejohn 2009).

This paper evaluated how academics, at a mid‐sized UK university, used their iPads for teaching. The data were gathered using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Eighty‐four academics completed a survey while 22 semi‐structured interviews were conducted. Eleven interviewees reported that they used their iPads for teaching purposes and the SAMR model was employed to analyse these teaching uses. The other 11 interviewees stated that they did not use their iPads for teaching purposes and the reasons why these academics were not using their iPads are also explored in this paper. Formal pedagogical support and students' access to iPads were considered important by academics in order to use their iPads effectively for teaching.
