Sound recordings have existed since the last quarter of the 19th
century, and libraries have collected them since the early 20th
century. Where recordings-both audio and video-differ most notably
from books is that they all need some kind of playback device: some
intermediary piece or pieces of equipment between the user and the
object. The world of audio and video gear is frequently foreign to
many librarians, and what libraries need in terms of equipment is
often different from the needs of both the individual audiophile
and the professional sound archivist. Moreover, today's changing
audio landscape-including audio/video streaming via the internet
and the emergence of the iPod culture-have called into question the
need for valuable library space to be occupied by listening/viewing
carrels. Audio and Video Equipment Basics for Libraries presents
all the information librarians need to know to make intelligent
decisions about providing listening and viewing facilities in
libraries. Everything from what to look for when buying new
equipment, to how it works, to what to think about when designing a
new listening facility or retrofitting an existing space is
considered.
