Sommario/riassunto

Qualitative Research and the Modern Library examines the present-day role and provides suggestions for areas that might be suited to this type of research for the purposes of evaluation. The author discusses how the results from such research might be applied, and the overall impact of using this type of research to inform development of a more user-centred organisation. The book provides a thoughtful look at the implications of using qualitative research to inform decision-making processes within libraries and is written by an author and library researcher with international experience in var

Sommario/riassunto

Wann immer wir mit anderen zusammenkommen, befinden wir uns wie selbstverständlich in Kopräsenz. Aber was genau bedeutet es, »zusammen« zu sein? Erfordert es immer physische Anwesenheit oder ist Kopräsenz auch anders möglich? Angesichts des rasanten Wandels moderner Kommunikationstechnologien räumt Heiko Hausendorf mit einigen Mythen auf und wirft einen Blick auf die Entstehung und die Zukunft von Kopräsenz. Diese ist konstitutiv für die Menschwerdung und bildet bis heute den Nährboden für die Entstehung von Sprache – was die Beschäftigung mit Kopräsenz auch weit über die Linguistik hinaus für alle interessant macht, die sich für soziale Interaktion interessieren.
