Armed with a cell phone, visitors can tour library

By Mat Grudzien | October 10, 2007

Those who missed the Baker-Berry Library open house held on Oct. 4 -- and possess a cell phone -- need not worry, now that library users can take a tour of the library using their cell phones, thanks to a recently introduced program. The technology allows students to take a tour of the library by dialing a number on their cell phones and listening to a series of pre-recorded descriptions of different library locations and resources. With the introduction of this system, Baker library joins institutions such as Library of Congress and the Folger Shakespeare Library, both of which already offer similar audio tours. The initial idea to institute the program at Dartmouth was proposed by Ridie Ghezzi, the head of research and instructional services at the Baker Library, and the tour was organized by reference librarian Andrea Bartelstein. "She read an article on the Guide Cell company that organizes audio tours such as ours," Bartelstein said.
