Phil Bradley looks at the concept of real-time search and points to some of the functionality that users can and should expect to find when exploring these engines.
There’s a lot of talk going around at the moment on the subject of ‘real-time search’, so I thought it might be useful to look at the concept in a little more detail, and to explore some of the search engines that say they offer it. This is by no means an attempt at a comprehensive listing, as new search engines are appearing if not daily, then certainly every week. Rather, it’s an attempt to define the area, using examples, and to point to some of the functionality that users can and should expect to find when exploring these engines themselves.

Fazit: Auch ohne mein vorhandenes berufliches Interesse kann ich diese kleine Bibliotheksgeschichte reinen Gewissens allen empfehlen, die eine Liebe zu Büchern entwickelt haben und sich über die Ursprünge und Geschichte unserer Lesekultur fundiert, aber doch unterhaltsam informieren wollen.

Was ist besser: das gebundene Buch oder das digitale? Das Beispiel der Berliner Humboldt-Universität zeigt, dass sich beide gut ergänzen. Von Fokke Joel
