- The increasing usage of the mobile web imposes new requirements on discovery tools of libraries. Therefore the North Rhine-Westphalian Library Center (hbz) sees the need of a mobile version of the hbz library portal "Digitale Bibliothek (DigiBib)" for the use by smartphones and tablet computers. The purpose of this master thesis is to identify the demands on a mobile version of the DigiBib with regard to functionality and content and particular emphasis on usability. The paper determines the current state of research concerning mobile web, mobile usability and mobile library applications. Furthermore, a quantitative survey was conducted with DigiBib users. The results show that a mobile DigiBib would be used predominantly by Android or iOS smartphones. The most important use case is the known item search, closely followed by the subject search. A single search box as well as multiple search boxes should be provided. Important usability requirements are the reduction of text input, which can be achieved through default and automatic completion of search terms as well as possibilities of data export. The availability check should contain a site-specific localization of libraries possessing the desired title. Also interlibrary loan is relevant for the mobile use of the DigiBib. Less important are links to databases and e-journals. Due to limited resources and in order to create platform independence, the mobile DigiBib should be developed as a web application.
