Speaking as a reference librarian, I carry my Samsung Galaxy Note II phablet with me while working the desk and even made a sling for it, since I don't have pockets. I use it to show patrons how to access ebooks and apps for library databases, as well as to
take notes, exchange information with patrons, snap photos for our library twitter account and etc. Today's "phones" do so much more and I consider mine to be one of the best tools I have at my disposal. Our library does a lot of social media, so all of our
librarians are facebook, twitter, chat and blog active while on desk. It's just part of who we are as professionals. I have our library chat function enabled on my phone as well, so I frequently check my work email and make myself available to staff via chat
even when away from my own desk. <br>

Our board is working on a complete and revised employee handbook. We are trying to rule on employee cell phone use. How does your library handle employee cell phone use?
