• W2255301096 abstract "A special portable device designed for retrieving concise library resource descriptions by the user is presented in this article. The device reads a bar code attached to the back of the resource and searches for the corresponding information stored in a non-volatile, rewritable memory. The information retrieved by the device can also be used in the loaning process. Resource descriptions can be simultaneously visual and dictated through a speech synthesizer, constituting a valuable tool for individuals with special needs, including the deaf and blind. ********** This article discusses a device designed to provide a concise description of each resource located in a certain section of a library. Description information is retrieved through the reading of a unique bar code attached to the back of each resource. This information can also be used for automating the loaning process, since the elements of the resource are already recorded and the only information to be added are the elements of the user and the loan and delivery dates. Resource descriptions can be simultaneously visual and dictated through a speech synthesizer, constituting a valuable tool for individuals with special needs, such as the deaf or blind. What must be stressed here is the great importance of such a system for visually impaired persons. IFLA's Section of Libraries for the Blind (SLB) was established in 1983 as a forum for libraries for the blind. SLB participates in the annual IFLA conference and also in a biannual IFLA preconference for the section. The 2001 preconference, which took place in Washington, D.C., focused on increased information choices through Web-based technologies, future library services for blind students, digital delivery for the blind, and mainstreaming library services for blind and print-disabled users. (1) Despite growing technological developments in the information and communications area, only a small percentage of documents are actually made available to the blind in accessible formats, which include speech output, braille output, tactile devices, or even simple adjustments to a browser. (2) Integration of blind and visually impaired persons into schools, universities, and training centers is being considered through projects such as BrailleNet. (3) BrailleNet concerns Internet document delivery and aims to achieve integration through Web-accessible assistive technologies and teaching materials. The delivery of these special books is further enabled through cooperation with publishers, adaptation centers, and printing centers. National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), Library of Congress, is making use of the Internet to deliver a number of its services. (4) A continuously growing number of Web-Braille titles (currently 3,800 titles) has been made available to 1,500 users. Speech input/output through speech recognition/synthesis is the most user-friendly interface for offering information in the case of visual inefficiencies, contributing greatly to a more efficient interoperability of the previously mentioned initiatives. Presentation of the Operations of the Resource Description Device The library is organized in a series of thematic sections. Each section consists of a number of resources, such as books, serials, images, videos, audio, and maps. Each resource is described through certain bibliographic fields along with a summary text. The whole description is stored in a special bibliographic database, allowing any field to be retrieved through tools included in related management software packages. Each library section is to be related to a certain device. This infrared device will be connected to the computer server with the mentioned database. In this way the resource descriptions corresponding to a section can be downloaded and stored in the device's nonvolatile, rewritable memory. Obviously, these data can be changed or deleted, following relative modifications in the real world state. …" @default.
