Abstract:

Digital technologies have made it possible to create and replicate educational content in various forms: text, video, and audio. The post-PC generation actively uses audio content. There is a tendency to demand audiobooks as a format of educational resources. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe educational technologies and reading practices related to audiobooks. The novelty of the research is the analysis of student practices of audio reading. Methods: The first stage includes a desk study of audio reading as an educational technology, its capabilities and limitations, the representation of audiobooks in universities’ electronic libraries and the use of audiobooks in the educational process, educational technologies and practices of working with audiobooks. The second stage includes an empirical study of students ‘practices of accessing and using electronic libraries in the process of educational (1), leisure (2) activities, readers’ preferences for the reading format (traditional, audio reading) (3). Research results: With the development of digital technologies, electronic libraries have become a popular educational resource. The e-libraries extend the representation of the audio books. The possibilities and limitations of audio reading remain debatable. Audio reading as a resourcesaving technology (carefulness to vision, time optimization) has a number of advantages and at the same time requires the development of listening skills and critical perception of audio text.

Abstract:

The popularization of local history knowledge, based on the fund of materials about the native land that is being formed by local libraries, includes the use of new information and online technologies. The format of the street audio tour allows the library to get closer to the user, such a tour is «a historian in your pocket». The purpose of this text (based on the experience of creating street audio tours by the our department of local history) is to outline both the real obstacles in creating an audio tour and the underestimated resources of libraries.So, for example, when preparing an audio tour, the libraries' own information resources may be underestimated. But relying on the local history fund the library has every opportunity to create a high quality excursion product. Especially noteworthy resources are the collections of periodicals, city directories and phonebooks of past years, which allow checking the facts and raising the degree of reliability of the tour.At the same time, one should not overestimate the competencies required for creating an audio tour, including those related to writing texts and working with audio recordings. The advantage of a guide created by non-pros is the possibility of creating an almost intimate one-to-one story. At the same time, librarians undoubtedly need both methodological support and technical advice.

Abstract:

A Review of: Agosto, D. E., Bell, J. P., Bernier, A. & Kuhlmann, M. (2015). “This is our library, and it’s a pretty cool place”: A user-centered study of public library YA spaces. Public Library Quarterly, 34(1), 23-43. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01616846.2015.1000777 Objective – To add empirical evidence to the study of young adult (YA) spaces and creation of related guidelines by investigating librarians’ and teens’ perceptions of YA spaces and their use in public libraries. Design – Qualitative thematic analysis of video data content. Setting – 25 public libraries in the United States of America. Subjects – A librarian, and a teen of their choosing, at each of the 25 selected libraries. Methods – The researchers chose 25 public libraries randomly from a list of 257 libraries profiled from 2005-2010 in Library Journal’s annual index of new and renovated libraries. Each of the 25 libraries was sent a video camera, and the selected librarian and teen each recorded a narrated tour of their library’s YA space. The cameras were returned to the researchers, who had the audio of the recordings transcribed, referring back to the video for any narration that needed clarification. Thematic analysis was performed on the transcriptions to identify major- and sub-categories of space and space-use characteristics. Empirical results were reported as a numerical figure representing the number of videos (n=42 total usable videos) in which a particular theme was mentioned at least once. Main Results – Five main categories of YA space characteristics recommended by teens and librarians emerged from the thematic analysis. YA spaces need to facilitate: physical comfort; both leisure activity and information needs; both academic activity and information needs; a sense of ownership by teens; and improved marketing of the spaces as well as clear displays of library policies regarding the spaces. Sub-categories were also listed in each instance, as were counts and percentages of numbers of videos in which a theme was mentioned at least once. Conclusion – YA spaces in public libraries need to be user-centered, and the arrangements need to be flexible enough to be used for multiple purposes. Teens need to be involved in and drivers of their design and ongoing use. In addition, teens’ needs for social interaction, and leisure as well as academic support, must be explicitly incorporated into any planning. Librarians and libraries must adjust their focus on resources to better mirror teens’ focus on the activities that happen in YA spaces, both online and in person. In order to serve YA patrons, libraries must also actively promote YA spaces. This initial exploratory empirical investigation can inform future much-needed research on improving YA space planning. Research is also needed to examine the evolution of libraries’ YA investments as teen patrons’ needs change over time.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a case study of developing a web service that will act as an intermediary between the Audio Library system for the visually impaired and the library management systems. The Audio Library is based on speech recognition and text-to-speech engines and it produces synthesized speech from various electronic materials. It has its own database with a limited number of books and textual materials. Web services described in this paper should enable access to a larger number of electronic resources provided by libraries. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, the author specified software architecture of a web service analyzing different approaches for search and retrieval. Findings – Web service described in this paper is the first software solution addressing the problem of lending e-books in Serbia. It aggregates collections of different libraries in a single access point for the Audio Library system. In this way, users of the Audio Library system are provided with larger number of electronic resources. Originality/value – Communication between the Audio Library and this web service is achieved by using standardized protocols for exchanging library data. However, those protocols did not fulfill all necessary requirements, so the authors propose some extensions to overcome those issues.

Abstract:

Purpose To provide library service to users of all ages has been one of the primary missions of county libraries since 1908 when the first branch of the first county library system was born in Sacramento as a proud milestone in the history of California public library. It has been a constant challenge to local governments and library staff members alike, especially when there are economic downturns or many priority programs to balance with. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The paper introduces an innovative methodology in collection development to promote the concept that library collections, traditional or digital, can serve users of all ages as long as they can be adaptable to meet the changing needs of users, and compatible with changing information technologies. Findings By examining the process of an audio collection integrated as part of library collections and deeply rooted in users’ lives, the author reports the findings in the following areas: developing a robust audio collection catering to all users at Santa Cruz Public Libraries, despite technological changes and limited budget; getting involved in the whole organization’s programs and projects by collaborations; offering innovative promotion approaches; providing comprehensive subject coverage and always keeping the local community in mind; and evolving constantly to make technologies your friends, not foes. Research limitations/implications The paper analyzes a successful collection development experience in audio collections to strive to realize the original county library’s ideal to serve users of all ages in California. Practical implications The successful collection development experience is useful not only for acquisition librarians, but a much broader audience such as library managers in charge of library material budgets. Social implications The findings point out a number of social implications confronting library professionals worldwide. They include conflicts between users’ real needs vs our assumptions, limited budget vs expanding coverage, and library services vs the nature of technology. Originality/value The paper helps library professionals to develop, maintain, and succeed in their short- and long-term goals in collection development.

Abstract:

Analog audio materials present unique preservation and access challenges for even the largest libraries. These challenges are magnified for smaller institutions where budgets, staffing, and equipment limit what can be achieved. Because in-house migration to digital of analog audio is often out of reach for smaller institutions, the choice is between finding the room in the budget to out-source a project, or sit by and watch important materials decay. Cost is the most significant barrier to audio migration. Audio preservation labs can charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars to migrate analog to digital. Top-tier audio preservation equipment is equally expensive. When faced with the decomposition of an oral history collection recorded on cassette tape, one library decided that where there was a will, there was a way. The College of Education One-Room Schoolhouse Oral History Collection consisted of 247 audio cassettes containing interviews with one-room school house teachers from 68 counties in Kansas. The cassette tapes in this collection were between 20-40 years old and generally inaccessible for research due to fear the tapes could be damaged during playback. This case study looks at how a single Digital Curation Librarian with no audio digitization experience migrated nearly 200 hours of audio to digital using a $40 audio converter from Amazon and a campus subscription to Adobe Audition. This case study covers the decision to digitize the collection, the digitization process including audio clean-up, metadata collection and creation, presentation of the collection in CONTENTdm, and final preservation of audio files. The project took 20 months to complete and resulted in significant lessons learned that have informed decisions regarding future audio conversion projects.

Abstract:

The development of education libraries cannot be understood outside the context of education history. Changes in educational practices and technology spurred three phases of development in the history of education libraries. Early examples, often called curriculum laboratories, developed as spaces to create educational materials where limited numbers existed. As standardized curriculum grew, common laboratories gave way to curriculum materials centers, which housed materials so that future teachers could preview them. The rise of audio-visual equipment transformed education libraries once again into centers housing a variety of instructional materials. This paper traces the development of education libraries through these three phases.

Abstract:

Objective – The purpose of this study was to explore new ways librarians can provide meaningful learning experiences for students beyond the traditional classroom assignment and the one-hour library instruction session. Methods – The study was done within a qualitative framework using participative, interpretive, and personal experience methods. The research team consisted of two librarians and a graduate student. Data collected included transcripts of audio-recorded team meetings and interviews, field notes, and a post-project survey, where students described their experiences negotiating the conceptual and technical processes of authoring a multimedia story. The instructional layer was built upon a constructivist approach allowing for a collaborative learning setting to foster learner control and self-efficacy. Results – Findings illustrate the benefits of collaborative approaches for enhancing the learning experiences of students in the library, in this case with multimedia. The data also suggest promising new ways for librarians to facilitate learning and to engage students in the library. Conclusion – Through a multimedia project that involves both librarian-guided exploration and collaborative learning processes, libraries can offer students formal and structured opportunities to explore their own interests or underlying curiosities beyond the classroom assignment and the one-hour library instruction session.

Abstract:

As the Information Age progresses in technological and electronic areas, so mustlibrarians re-define traditional services for those both with. and without sight. Libraries are expected to participate in setting new and better service standards for those with visual disabi lities and/or learning disorders. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) Library's national network (VISUNET: CANADA) supports the premise of a virtual library for print disabled C an adians. Information resources, services, and international collaborations such as the Digital Audio Based Information System (DAISY) are producing accessible materials for those who cannot read print. By interconnecting world information resources in any format of choice, and providing the best in content that is both digital and virtual with no limitations, libraries will assist print disabled Canadians to better compete for jobs in a rapidly changing working and learning environment.

Abstract:

The field of machine learning has benefited from the appearance of diffusion-based generative models for images and audio. While text-to-image models have become increasingly prevalent, text-to-audio generative models are currently an active area of research. We present work on generating short samples of musical instrument sounds generated by a model which was conditioned on text descriptions and the file structure labels of large sample libraries. Preliminary findings indicate that generation of wide-spectrum sounds such as percussion are not difficult, while the generation of harmonic musical sounds presents challenges for audio diffusion models.

Abstract:

Abstract: The hearing and speech disabled people have a communication problem with other people. It is hard for such individuals to express themselves since everyone is not familiar with the sign language. The aim of this paper is to design a system which is helpful for the people with hearing / speech disabilities and convert a voice in Indian sign language (ISL). The task of learning a sign language can be cumbersome for people so this paper proposes a solution to this problem using speech recognition and image processing. The Sign languages have developed a means of easy communication primarily for the deaf and hard of hearing people. In this work we propose a real time system that recognizes the voice input through Pyaudio, SPHINX and Google speech recognition API and converts it into text, followed by sign language output of text which is displayed on the screen of the machine in the form of series of images or motioned video by the help of various python libraries.

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the collections and databases of the online local history research created by Latvian public libraries, as well as describes the content of the databases as well as available sources of information and its formats. The research base is websites of the main libraries of Latvia's regions and the digital local history research available online. The result of the research led to the conclusion that Latvian public libraries offer a wide range of online local history research resources and databases: local countyman databases and encyclopedia, libraries history materials, information about county, oral history collections: personal records and memory stories. The interviews can be evidenced in audio format. The full texts of the interviews have also been published. Several Latvian public libraries also offer a video format. It is concluded that the local history databases of Latvian public libraries store and provide unique information about the time, place, historical events and people in the region. The sources of oral history included in the local history databases in the collections of Latvian public libraries are an important part of the historical heritage.

Full text

Abstract:

Despite the short remaining time to rescue unique cultural and personal materials stored on many twentieth- and early twenty-first-century audiovisual and digital storage media, realistic rescue options are starkly limited. Building a rescue apparatus in house, especially to archival standards, requires significant expertise and expense and is often of limited continuing use. Outsourcing digital capture of these materials overwhelms the resources of even well-funded academic libraries and archives, never mind public libraries, small archives, and local historical societies. To address this problem realistically, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Information School has built and documented an in-house rescue installation called RADD (Recover Analog and Digital Data) as well as two self-contained, portable, and shippable rescue kits: PROUD (Portable Recovery of Unique Data) for digital materials and PRAVDA (Portably Reformat Audio and Video to Digital from Analog) for audio and video. All three units are actively rescuing cultural heritage materials, as well as serving training and outreach functions.

Abstract:

A digital library is a combination of textual, numeric, scanned photos, graphics, audio, and video recordings that allows consumers to easily retrieve information from a digital collection. Recent advancements in computer store and processor, communication technologies, e-products, networking, and internet use have resulted in a radical shift in the way libraries and their services operate. Current study discusses a functioning collection of textbooks, documents, newspapers, and audiovisual resources stored and arranged in a library for anyone to read or borrow. Information and Communications Technology (ICT)has had a significant influence on libraries, and it has altered the traditional library idea in which print and paper materials are the primary components of the system. Libraries are transforming into digital libraries in order to fulfill the massive information explosion and rising demand for information. Due to the digitization of library materials and the rapid advancement of technology, a new sort of library has emerged: the virtual library. Most of us are often perplexed by library jargon. In this work, we attempt to clarify the language used in these libraries in a professional manner. Such libraries will increase the efficiency of education in the coming eras.

Abstract:

The university libraries “Svetozar Marković” in Belgrade and “Nikola Tesla” in Niš were among the first to be actively involved in the process of digitization of libraries in Serbia. They are working on new projects supported by the European Union in order to modernize and develop new ways to transfer scientific and professional information. Consequently, they are a valuable source of information for writing professional and scientific papers, as well as obligations provided by curricula, especially at higher levels of study. The main goal of this paper is to examine the attitudes of doctoral students at the University of Belgrade and the University of Niš on the usefulness of digital resources of the university libraries “Svetozar Marković” and “Nikola Tesla”. Accordingly, research tasks include issues related to informing students about the potential of the digital libraries, and the use of electronic resources that they offer. For the purpose of the research, an instrument that was used was a questionnaire, which was created purposely and delivered electronically to the respondents. Research data were processed through qualitative and quantitative methods and presented graphically. The results of the research show that students are partially informed about the potential of the digital university library, that improvements in information about audio and video files are possible; also, that students recognize the benefits of using electronic resources and their usefulness in the study process.

Abstract:

Abstract— Language detection is a natural language processing task where we need to identify the language of a text or document. As a human, we can easily detect the languages we know. However, it is not possible for an individual to identify many languages. This is where the language identification task can be used. The proposed solution is a complete system that detects language from the text, images, and audio files. Language identification task from text is carried out by training a Multinomial Naive Bayes classifier model. In the case of image and audio inputs, Python libraries are used to achieve the goal of language detection.

Abstract:

AbstractEuropeana is the EU flagship initiative for digital cultural heritage that gives free access to more than 50 million digital objects coming from more than 3,500 libraries, archives and museums across Europe. Of this huge amount of digital cultural heritage content, over a million are videos and more than seven hundred thousand are audio documents. Audio and video materials keep users engaged on a website longer than any other content type and this is the kind of content most web users look for, and user statistics confirm this also on Europeana.eu. Hence the aim of the project Europeana Media was to improve the user experience with audiovisual material on the Europeana portal and deliver functionalities to better access and incorporate AV content from Europeana.eu into the working environments of researchers, educators and citizens by developing an Enhanced Unified Playout Service. This unified player is based on theInternational Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), which provides a standardised method of describing and delivering images, video and audio over the web.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the transformation of information resources of public libraries of Ukraine in modern conditions. The methodological basis of the article was based on systemic, information-service and modernist approaches and the application of the principles of objectivity and comprehensiveness of knowledge. The organic combination of structural-functional analysis, synthesis, and cognitive methods made it possible to successfully realize the set goal. The scientific novelty consists in considering the main aspects of the formation of electronic information resources against the background of the aggression of the Russian Federation against the sovereign state of Ukraine, starting in 2014, arguing that public libraries actively participated in the information processes of creating a regional source base on events that take place in modern history of our state. The existing ones are analyzed and the author's understanding of the term "electronic library and information resources" is proposed. Conclusions. Digitization stimulates the general trend of transformation of public libraries of Ukraine into hubs for comprehensive processing of all types of information on all media. The use of new media in library practice contributes to the production of relevant electronic information resources, which marks the third stage of the use of information and communication technologies in the work of libraries. The public libraries of Ukraine currently have the following types of electronic information resources: a) electronic catalogs; b) full-text databases; c) electronic collections of text analogues of printed publications; d) collections of digitized publications; e) electronic documents that do not have printed counterparts; f) electronic publications of audio and video information; g) multimedia products. Electronic information resources enrich the assortment and include the following audiovisual products: audio recordings, films, videos, slides, presentations, etc., including exhibitions and tours of the library, advertising of new arrivals, online meetings with famous people or solutions to current community issues, etc. Own accounts in social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram), messengers (WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber), video hosting (YouTube), on the one hand, have a significant potential for popularizing the library, on the other hand, are a platform for approving the demand for created electronic information resources.

Abstract:

The study examined the availability and use of library resources in the rehabilitation of inmates in correctional centers in Imo and Abia states,Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design using three research questions and three hypotheses. The population of the study comprised 3,854 prisoners from the five prisons in Imo and Abia States, Nigeria. The sample size used was 713 prisoners. Purposive and proportionate random sampling techniques were used. Instruments for the study included: a checklist and a rating scale namely: Availability of Library Resources Checklist (ALRC) and Extent of Use of Library Resources Scale (EULRS). The instruments were validated and found reliable with index of 0.88 for EULRS using Cronbach Alpha Statistic. The research questions were answered using frequency count, proportion, mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested using t-test. The findings were that Owerri and Umuahia correctional centers only have two librarians each in their respective libraries. This implies that the librarians in prison libraries are not adequate. It was also revealed that a good number of resources like fiction books, textbooks, magazines, chairs and lightings were available but some materials like newspapers, newspaper racks, audio cassettes, video tapes, DVD, library software were not found at all but the ones found were utilized to a high extent. Based on these findings, the study recommended among others that the Federal Government should employ more librarians to the correctional services centers in Imo and Abia states so as to reduce job stress and bring information closer to the inmates.

Abstract:

The Lisnbook (or speaking book) is a book that is read aloud. This audiobook needs to be available verbally, in schools, in public libraries, and gradually in music stores. It is often more useful in poetry and theater than in books. It was not until the 1980's that the center began to attract booksellers, and booksellers began displaying audio books on bookshelves instead of keeping them separate .

Abstract:

Students with disabilities require special convenient access to library services as compared to the general student population. Despite the special needs requirements, there is consensus among researchers that access to library services by students with disabilities is not yet fully available, especially in countries in the global periphery. This study utilised quantitative data collected through questionnaires directed to 92 disabled students registered for the 2013 academic year, an interview with the librarian responsible for the disabled students unit and observation using the IFLA checklist for access to libraries for disabled people to evaluate the convenience and accessibility of library services for students with disabilities at the University of Limpopo in South Africa. Even though the study established that a purpose-built library service unit for students with disabilities that complies with international best practice was in place, students with disabilities were not adequately satisfied with the library services they received as very few library materials had been transcribed into accessible formats. The situation was compounded by the fact that only one librarian was assigned to manage and run the library services for the disabled. The study recommends that the university should hire more librarians to assist students with disabilities in the audio-braille library. It is hoped that the study will stimulate policy makers to include students with disabilities in information access and collection development policies. A further study on the needs and academic progress assessment of students with one group of disabilities is recommended.

Abstract:

Due to advancing information and communication technologies webinars have become a means of continuing education which demands methodological support and standardization. The authors analyze the methods of labor rating, in particular, timing of technological and organizational processes. The factors of time input for webinar organization are defined: i. e. number of lecturers, including those remote ones, various formats and number of demonstrated materials (presentations, video, audio, texts, links), scenario multitasking (for example, polling, displaying related materials, linking, etc.), simultaneous broadcasting to another videohosting (i.e YouTube). The list of technological processes for webinar organization is presented along with the findings of labor rating as exemplified by the NPLS&T’s experience. The calculations of real time consumed are obtained through the judgment-based method as well as through the continuous timing method. The authors conclude on the rate between real-life and typical timing of webinar organization and the proportion of this time within working hours in NPLS&T.

Abstract:

The author present the results of study of the activities of national libraries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) on the creation and promotion of electronic information resources.The article analyses the open resources on culture and art presented in Russian on the official websites of the national libraries (NL) of the CIS countries.The author identified and structured the main types of resources of the National libraries of the CIS: electronic publications; electronic libraries; databases; virtual exhibitions, collections; photo-, video-, audio reports. The article presents in detail the resources of the National Libraries of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Belarus, Republic of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Republic of Uzbekistan and Ukraine. The author notes that the most common resources are electronic exhibitions and collections, but other types of resources — electronic publications, electronic libraries, databases — are rarely created. Innovation in the activities of the NL of the CIS on the creation of information resources is preparation of electronic reports on the results of past cultural events. The leader in creating and providing online resources in Russian on culture and art is the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine, followed by the National Library of Uzbekistan named after A. Navoi and the National Library of Belarus. Monitoring of Russian-language sources of information on the websites of the NL of the CIS countries demonstrated that the efforts of libraries in the creation and presentation of resources on culture and art are quite active. Their further development by the libraries will contribute to the expansion of knowledge about the national culture and history of the CIS countries, disclosure and promotion of the collections and widening of the boundaries of free access to the national cultural and historical heritage.

Abstract:

Background: Academic libraries play a crucial and constructive role in managing information resources. Because medical universities have an essential role in promoting public health, the position of libraries at these universities is both important and influential. Therefore, this study investigated factors that affect the provision of health information resources in central libraries at Iranian universities of medical sciences. Methods: This applied-descriptive study reviewed factors affecting the provision of health information resources based on document study and the Delphi method. A total of 62 managers of these central libraries were asked to participate. The sample was based on the fuzzy Delphi technique, which provides a solution in two phases. The data were obtained from a qualitative analysis of interviews and results from a researcher-created questionnaire. Results: Six factors were found to be vital to providing health information resources, including support, maintenance costs, country policies, economics, cooperation with high-tech companies, and political challenges. Some suggestions are given to address the challenges of providing resources; the most important was to create visual and audio media with a high diffusion coefficient. Conclusion: Numerous factors can affect the provision of health information resources at Iranian universities of medical sciences. The foundations of these factors are varied, some stemming from economic fluctuations and others from technological developments.

Abstract:

In Russia, the definition of “Legal Deposit Copy” (LDC) applies not only to printed and electronic publications, but also to audio-visual documents (movies, replicable sound and video products, photographs, copies of television and radio programs); however, researchers usually focus on the printed editions. The aim of the article is to study the legal aspects and acquisition practices of the formation of LDC complex of audio-visual documents as part of the National library-information collection of documents and the Archival Collection of the Russian Federation. The author analyses the current state of Russian legislation on legal deposit system and archiving in the Russian Federation in relations to audio-visual documents and topical issues of its improvement. For the first time, the author reveals the history of using the term of “legal deposit copy” towards audio-visual documents. The practical consequences of the inclusion of State archives in the system of institutions — recipients of the LDC were the confusion of the concepts of “National library-information collection of documents” and “Archival Collection of the Russian Federation”, the rejection of the examination of the value of incoming documents and transformation of archives into media libraries. There is still no system in place of regularly informing users on the received LDC of audio-visual documents (as opposed to printed publications). Institutions-recipients, such as the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, do not provide access to LDC as part of the national library-information collection, as required by law. The author revealed the shortcomings of the existing acquisition system of institutions with the LDC of TV and radio programs and replicated audio and video products. As a result, the author concludes that audio-visual documents are still a perfect stranger in the national legal deposit system of documents.

The focus of this paper is on the integration of audio resources with other content types in digital libraries. As a case study, we will present the most recent initiative of the Biblioteca Europea di Informazione e Cultura (BEIC), an Italian institution that pursues educational and instructional goals through the realization and management of a multimedia, free access, open shelf library. A new audio section will be added to the already-existing digital archive, allowing users to listen to about 1000 classical recordings in a multi-platform and cross-browser manner. This experience involves a number of heterogeneous fields, ranging from musicology to computer programming, from cataloging to digitization and archiving. In this paper, we will apply a bottom-up technique in order to provide a generalization of the specific case study, thus suggesting a methodological approach for similar initiatives.

Abstract:

Native Web technologies provide great potential for musical expression. We introduce two JavaScript libraries towards this end: Gibberish.js, providing heavily optimized audio DSP, and Interface.js, a GUI toolkit that works with mouse, touch, and motion events. Together they provide a complete system for defining musical instruments that can be used in both desktop and mobile Web browsers. Interface.js also enables control of remote synthesis applications via a server application that translates the socket protocol used by Web interfaces into both MIDI and OSC messages. We have incorporated these libraries into the creative coding environment Gibber, where we provide mapping abstractions that enable users to create digital musical instruments in as little as a single line of code. They can then be published to a central database, enabling new instruments to be created, distributed, and run entirely in the browser.
