Mobile Web (Browser) vs Apps
Mobile Web or Apps? Pros/Cons
Mobile Web Apps
Device independent, build one Device specific, build many
More common coding More specialized coding
Push your own updates Relies on “app store” release
HTML 5 increases functionality Much greater functionality, re
use of camera, GPS, etc
Clunkier Slicker and more user friendly
Harder to get users, less used
(.5% to 6% of library web traffic
through mobile)
Much more use (build in
marketing and distribution
channel)
Measure use w/google analytics Must build measurement into
code

Discovery/Recommendation
• Evolution of mobile users – not just the quick
ready reference any more
• The casual browser, time killer, relaxed “sofa
searcher”, snacking…
• Don’t know their information need: back to
browsing, serendipity, “incidental” search
• Constantly changing environment and
context; personalized facets
• Relies on social “searching” and discovery

Staying Updated on mHealth
Clearly, the mobile phone is the iconic device of the
moment, and we're encouraging a new rule:
Mobile First. When we announce new services for
desktop computers, such as real-time search, we will
debut an equally powerful mobile version. We will
take advantage of this new class of smartphone, which
is more sensory, acts as an extension of you, is aware
of location, and can hear you, speak to you, take
pictures, and return information in a matter of
seconds.
