Mobile devices have been helping to empower underserved communities around the world. From bringing information on health and farming to substituting expensive devices, cellular phones and apps have proved to be powerful tools in poverty alleviation and disaster relief. The Mobile Lab at Santa Clara University focuses on developing mobile solutions for social benefit and, in this paper, we describe the use of cellular phones and cloud services for automatizing libraries in African villages.
