During the last decade, due to enormous changes in the mobile industry, mobile usage has become a necessity for the common man (Wankel and Blessinger, 2012). The fabric of our lives has become interwoven with mobile technology as our day-to-day means of operating have, by necessity, become more mobile (Fox, 2010). Mobile devices and applications provide access to information in the comfort of people's homes and offices, using their cellular phones or personal digital assistants. These new devices enable access to information without the limitations of space and time (Aharony, 2013).

However with a growing number of people accessing the internet from their pocket PCs and mobile phones, libraries are investigating ways to deliver their services...

The aim of the present study is to analyse the open trends that prevail in Bangladesh for providing information services. This paper is primarily based on literature review and the authors’ own viewpoints. Primarily, a substantial amount of literature has been reviewed in preparation of the study plan.
