Full textAbstract:
Alain De Botton writes in The Architecture of Happiness, that “any object of design will give off an impression of the psychological and moral attitudes it supports.” Interpreting design then is done by understanding the attitudes of the designer, which either will or will not resonate with the viewer. I may consider the formal and conceptual merits of an object of design, but ultimately my attitudes determine whether the object will have resonance with me. These “attitudes” are, anthropologically speaking, values: what a person finds most good, proper, or desirable in life. Values are the key to the creation of objects of design that resonate. The purpose of this study is to gain insight into my values and refine their manifestation in my work. By defining those values, I can examine how my work might resonate with others.

Full textAbstract:
This work is concerned with research in the field of electronic publishing and, more particularly, of electronic books. It concentrates on an analysis of the stages of development of an electronic book from the acquisition of the source material to the actual use of electronic books, with particular attention to the interface design issues. The main objective of this research is to demonstrate the appropriateness of adopting the paper book metaphor for representing electronic books, which are specifically designed to be parts of an electronic library. In addition, these electronic books are produced semi-automatically using a flexible publishing environment. A model for an electronic book (hyper-book) and an environment which supplies tools for generating electronic books (hyper-book builder) have been defined and successively developed. Hyper-books are produced by importing electronic texts (in SGML or ASCII format) into an empty template, and by applying a number of tools in order to provide appropriate layout and reader services. Hyper-books incorporate hypertext features (e.g. history facilities and links), paper book features, and some other computer facilities (e.g. search functions). Design principles for hyper-books have been partially deduced from paper publishing and from experiments with electronic books. An application in the environmental domain (in particular, in the area of Global Change) was developed and used in order to evaluate the hyper-book system. The objectives of the evaluation were mainly to assess system usability and utility. An evaluation conducted by assigning a number of tasks to two different groups of subjects (computer experts and computer non-experts) has demonstrated that both groups achieved a good performance; therefore, computer expertise does not represent a significant aid in order to perform better or execute tasks quickly. These results lead to the conclusion that the system is easy to learn and use by everyone, therefore it is appropriate to employ the book metaphor.

Full textAbstract:
Stångåstaden is a mortgage company owned by Linköping municipality. They have over the years contributed to a number of outdoor artworks all around their home properties. Since they have a very poor documentation of these artworks a photo book will be developed to showcase these artworks. Our job is tocreate a concept for this photo book as well as doing research of the art In order to create good and viable guidelines for the photo book one must first find out more bout photo books and how differtent motivies are portryed in thebest way. so the main thesis of this report ti to research how different types of photo books portray their motives and visuales information, then translate that into guidelines for an intresting informative and visually attractive photo book för stångostaden. To be able to answer the thesis a genre analysis was chosen as a method because it helps with the understanding of a specific genre and its different elements, as well as provides inspiration which suits this report very well. Before doing the genre analysis a literature study was conducted with the focus on relevance for image composition and book design in specific. With the literature study as a foundation a model for analysis was create on which the genre analysis was made. The genre analysis was done on five very different books chosen from the Swedish photographers associations yearly photo book award. As a result of the literature study and the genre analysis five different concept--‐ spreads were create to illustrated the whole final concept. These are a map for overview and division, close--‐ups for details, many pictures to show different sides, full site with specific purposes and environmental images for relations. More general guidelines for the concept are that every artwork is going to have at least one spread alone. All the pictures will be in colour in order to be able to create more effective contrasts in favour of the artwork. Furthermore it is important to work with composition, perspective and format to create balance and hierarchy to enhance each artwork.<br>Stångåstaden är ett kommunalt bostadsbolag som ägs av Linköpings kommun. De har genom åren bidragit till ett antal utomhus konstverk runt om i deras bostadsområden. Eftersom de har en mycket vag dokumentation av dessa konstverk så kommer en fotobok att utvecklas för att sätta ihop en sammanställning av alla konstverk samt för att visa upp dem. Vårt jobb är att skapa ett koncept för denna fotobok samt göra research av konstverken och fotografera dem. För att skapa bra och hållbara riktlinjer för fotobok måste man först veta mer om fotoböcker och hur olika motiv skildras på bästa sätt. Så syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka hur olika typer av fotoböcker porträttera sina motiv och visualisera information och utifrån detta formge riktlinjer för en intressant, informativ och snygg fotobok för Stångåstaden. För att kunna svara på syftet har en genreanalys valts som metod eftersom det hjälper med förståelsen av en viss genre och dess olika element, samt ger inspiration vilket passar detta syfte väl. Innan genreanalysen genomfördes en litteraturstudie med specifik fokus på bildkomposition och bok design. Med litteraturstudien som grund skapades en modell för analys utifrån vilket genreanalysen gjordes. Genrenanalysen gjordes på fem mycket olika böcker som valts ut med hjälp av Svenska fotografers förbunds årliga fotobokspris. Som ett resultat av litteraturstudien och genreanalysen framställdes fem olika uppslagskoncept för att illustrerade hela det slutgiltiga konceptet. Dessa är en karta för översikt och uppdelning, närbilder för detaljer, många bilder att visa olika sidor, helbilder med specifika ändamål och miljöbilder för relation. Mer generella riktlinjer för konceptet är att varje konstverk kommer att ha minst ett uppslag var. Alla bilder kommer att vara i färg för att kunna skapa mer effektiva kontraster till förmån för konstverken. Dessutom är det viktigt att arbeta med komposition, perspektiv och format för att skapa balans och hierarki för att framhäva varje konstverk.

Full textAbstract:
Die Morphologie der Buchlungen von Arachniden (Arachnida Lamarck, 1801 – Arthropoda, Chelicerata) wurde in der vorliegenden Dissertation einer streng vergleichenden Analyse unterzogen, welche mit Hilfe moderner Methoden eine neue Sicht auf die Phylogenie der Arachniden eröffnet. Aus dem Vergleich mit den potentiellen Schwestergruppen (Xiphosura, Eurypterida) und mit Skorpionsfossilien erweist sich der einmalige Landgang eines gemeinsamen Vorfahrens aller rezent terrestrischen Arachniden. Buchlungen-Daten von 200 rezenten + 2 fossilen Skorpionen, 16 Geißelspinnen (Amblypygi), 17 Geißelskorpionen (Thelyphonida), einem Schizomiden (Schizomida), einem ausgestorbenen Trigonotarbiden (Trigonotarbida) und der Außengruppe, den rezenten Pfeilschwanzkrebsen (Xiphosura), wurden zu einem illustrierten Katalog zusammengestellt. Die unüberschaubare Vielfalt der oft graduell variierenden Strukturen macht die eindeutige Definition der Merkmale und auftretenden Merkmalszustände notwendig. Es wurden folgende 5 Merkmale definiert: (1) die Oberflächen der Atemlamellen, (2) der Lamellenrand, (3) der posteriore Stigmenrand, (4) der anteriore Stigmenrand und (5) die Wand des Atriums. Hierbei tragen die Merkmale 1-3 mit ihrer unerwarteten Fülle innerhalb der Skorpione maßgeblich zur Aufklärung ihrer Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse bei. Ähnliches wird von den Merkmalen 4 und 5 bezogen auf die Uropygi s. lat. vermutet. Ein sechstes Merkmal (Sensillen/Poren) wurde definiert, doch nur vereinzelt erfasst. Raster-Elektronenmikroskopie diente der Erfassung der cuticulären Feinstruktur der Buchlungen. Die Struktur der Buchlungen im Gesamten wurde mittels histologischer Schnittserien und mit auf µCT basierenden 3D-Rekonstruktionen untersucht. Für die Untersuchung von Trigonotarbiden-Fossilien wurde eine Methode entwickelt, die 3D-Rekonstruktion aus Sequenzen von Mikrofotos in unterschiedlichen Fokusebenen generiert.<br>Strict comparative analyses of the morphology of arachnid book lungs (Arachnida Lamarck, 1801 - Arthropoda: Chelicerata) were carried out in the present doctoral thesis using modern methods, resulting in a new perspective on arachnid phylogeny. Comparisons with potential aquatic sistergroups (Xiphosura and/or Eurypterida) and fossil scorpions give rise to the hypothesis of the unique terrestrialization of ancestors, which is common for all arachnids. Data from 200 Recent + 2 extinct scorpions, 16 whip spiders (Amblypygi), 17 whip scorpions (Thely-phonida), 1 schizomid (Schizomida), 1 extinct trigonotarbid (Trigonotarbida) and 1 outgroup - horseshoe crab (Xiphosura) are assembled into an illustrated catalogue of arachnid book lungs. Following the observations of these gradually differing cuticular structures the vast variation of book-lung fine structure across Arachnida requires unequivocal definition of characters and character states. Five characters are defined, which are assigned to distinct homologous book-lung structures: (1) the surface structure of the respiratory lamellae, (2) structure of the distal edges of the lamellae, (3) the posterior edge of the spiracle, (4) the anterior edge of the spiracle and (5) the structure of the wall lining the atrial chamber. Especially the book-lung characters 1-3 contain unexpected information, which helps resolve relationships within Scorpiones to a high degree, and characters 4 and 5 are of considerable importance for Uropygi s. lat. One sixth character (sensilla/pores) is mentioned, but sporadically examined. However, cuticular book-lung fine structure is studied using SEM, the gross morphology is reassessed using histological sectioning and 3D-reconstructions based on µCT. For investigations on trigonotabid fossils a new method yielding 3D-reconstructions from stacks of subsequent focal layers was developed.

Full textAbstract:
This report covers the methodology, research, and design process of my Thesis Project I: The Mixed Reality Book. The project is a proof-of-concept system that adds contextual periphery effects to regular paper books, using Spatial Augmented Reality. The intention is to enhance reading experiences within public libraries – amongst children and students. In this brief study we investigate how Projected Periphery can create, improve, and augment reading by manipulating the physical book, and the area around it, using projections. Throughout the study, I conduct design engagements, rapid prototyping, and workshops with the intention of identifying meaningful interactions. Two primary contexts of use are identified and analysed with an emphasis on developing usable design conventions and laying the foundation for a Mixed Reality Book system. The result is a working prototype, analysis of the research and challenges, and an exploration of how this technology could be shaped further and deployed.

This thesis is a collection of nine short stories about real people dealing with unreal problems. In one story, a small-town man answers a knock at his door, only to find three wisemen, who have followed a star and proclaimed him as their new messiah. In another, a reporter travels across the snowy length of Canada looking to interview people who have witnessed the Virgin Mary materialize above Toronto. Deranged Egyptologists, vampires with diseased blood, wacky witches, and unhappy mediums all inhabit tales whose landscapes span the distance between Chattanooga, Tennessee and the afterlife.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO<br>Ao longo da história do livro, novas tecnologias e meios
de produção alteraram-lhe
a estrutura, modificaram-lhe a forma e sua relação com o
leitor: no ocidente, a
passagem do volumen ao codex e a imprensa de Gutenberg são
exemplos de algumas
dessas transformações. Partindo da visão do historiador
francês Roger Chartier, hoje,
diante do texto eletrônico, a oposição entre o livro e a
tela deixa seu lugar para novas
formas de escrita e leitura em ambiente digital. Deste
modo, a passagem de textos do
códice (codex) impresso às telas dos computadores (e
outros dispositivos eletrônicos)
representa uma mudança no livro, que abrange,
simultaneamente, sua estrutura,
sua organização, seus modos de escrita e sua visualidade,
além de representar
uma transformação cultural, no que diz respeito a sua
morfologia, sua reprodução,
distribuição e relação com o leitor. Do ponto de vista do
Design, a tecnologia digital
e a hipermídia trazem possibilidades diversas e novas
abordagens projetuais. As
páginas são convertidas em territórios híbridos, nos quais
tipografia, imagem, som
e movimento envolvem o leitor durante o ato da leitura,
construindo um livro virtual
que somente existirá no ciberespaço e na mente inquieta do
leitor. Isto significa
um novo conceito de livro e sua reformulação enquanto um
projeto visual. Neste
contexto, a presente pesquisa aborda o design de livros,
sua relação com a literatura e
a investigação de formas narrativas desenvolvidas para
serem veiculadas em ambiente
digital. Trata-se de uma reflexão entre forma e conteúdo,
buscando relacionar, por um
lado, características do livro eletrônico que são próprias
deste novo meio e, por outro heranças que mantêm suas
raízes firmadas no solo do livro impresso.<br>The history of the book in the West shows how new
technologies and ways
of reproduction have changed the book`s structure, and
modified its form and
relationship with the reader. The supremacy of the codex
over the volumen (scroll) and
Gutenberg`s movable type (the printing press) are examples
of these revolutionary
transformations. According to the French historian Roger
Chartier, nowadays the
electronic text is making the opposition between book and
screen disappear, and
fostering new writing forms and reading in digital media.
Texts become different on
the printed page and on the computer screen (as well as in
many other electronic
gadgets). This represents a book change, which includes,
simultaneously, structure,
organization, writing manners and appearance. Its further,
represents a cultural
transformation in the book form, reproduction,
distribution and relationship with
the reader. A virtual book exists only in cyberspace and
in the reader`s mind.
In Design, digital technology and hypermedia bring several
possibilities and new
thoughts about a book`s project. Its pages are converted
in hybrid territories, where
typography, image, sound and movement involve the reader
during the reading
action. This means a new concept and the revision of the
book`s visual project. This
research approaches book design, literature and the
narrative forms developed for
digital media reading. It deals with form and content,
looking for new characteristics
of the electronic book as a novelty, and tries to find out
which one is surviving this
change from print book to screen.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how the reader is invited to read the books of Martial’s Epigrams, arguing that the epigrammatist has arranged the poems in his libelli in a specific order that rewards a sequential reading of the text from start to finish. Instead of viewing Martial as an anthologist who collated a series of occasional poems for their later publication, the thesis demonstrates that the poet showed awareness of his epigrams’ position within a larger ‘contexture’, and that he primes the reader throughout the Epigrams to envisage the books as thematically unified wholes. By viewing the Epigrams as a text to be read from beginning to end, rather than a text to be excerpted and anthologised, one can read each epigram in the wider context of its book, and better appreciate that book’s structural unity. Chapter one introduces the issues at stake in how one reads a book of epigrams, and provides the thesis’ methodological approach. Special attention is paid to the phenomenology of reading as a hermeneutic act, drawing together approaches to the Epigrams from classical scholarship as well as from reception and comic book theories to detail the method of ‘cumulative reading’ employed in the thesis. The second chapter then examines how Martial characterises the lector studiosus in his text, and how this depicted reader acts as a model for the actual reader to follow in their own sequential reading of the Epigrams. Chapter three focuses on Epigrams 7, demonstrating that the opening poems of the book establish the emperor Domitian as a thematic centrepiece around whom the rest of the book’s themes cluster. The fourth chapter also examines book 7, demonstrating how two different uses of watery motifs develop their individual thematic unity across the book, while also linking themselves back to the book’s opening imperial cycle to craft an overarching structural unity for the libellus. Chapter five then gives an overview of the larger structure of the Epigrams, arguing that the paratextual prose prefaces in books 1, 2, 8, 9, and 12 reinforce the individuality of the books they precede as well as establishing their own place within the wider corpus. Overall, this thesis puts the epigrammatic libellus back into the context of late first century AD book culture, emphasising that Martial paid attention not only to his epigrams’ position within their own books, but also their place within the wider corpus.

Geng, Xin. "Limit order book resilience and cross impact limit order book model." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2015. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/67146/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises of five chapters. The first chapter gives a brief introduction on the existing literature about the optimal trading order execution problem, the concept of limit order book, market impact models and their underlying market microstructure. We will also provide some brief review on the regularity problem of market impact model and the resilience effect of the LOB market. Some notions about the limit order book trading will also be introduced in this chapter. The second chapter, a game theoretical model given by Rosu [74] is introduced and the same side and opposite side resilience are reinterpreted for this model. The solution structure of a Markov equilibrium of this model is obtained for the same side resilience by providing a rigourous mathematical analysis. We also provide a sufficient condition for the existence of real-valued solutions under this situation. We also reproduce the results in Rosu [74] about the opposite side resilience in this LOB model. In the third chapter, we extend the LOB market impact model in Obizhaeva and Wang [65] by introducing two sides resilience and a general LOB shape function. Two existing LOB market impact models are then replicated by our extended model, allowing the cross-impact resilience rate going to zero and infinity respectively. In the last two chapters, we conduct two applications of our extended market impact model. These two applications are able to help us study the optimal execution problem and the market regularity issues. We find out that the minimum cost of the zero-spread LOB model is a lower bound of the minimum cost of our extended market impact LOB model and those models with zero bid-ask spread have weaker regularity conditions than those with a non-zero bid-ask spread.

Full textAbstract:
'Betting by the Book' details the steps taken in, and results obtained from, an examination of the processes followed, especially in Australia, of those persons who bet on thoroughbred horseracing. The work briefly describes the evolution of the practice of this form of gambling and details the extent of the activity in the Australian nation. Note is made of the obvious limited amount of attention previously given to the topic by academia. Using illustrations of the extent of the complexity and resulting uncertainty of outcome in selecting winning horses the study finds that the consequential behaviour of almost all those who bet is the adoption of a co-ordinated process of selection commonly referred to as a system. As hypothesised the study found three major categories,viz., logical, naive and superstitious. Sub-types of the three categories, devised as a part of the study, are listed and defined. Unexpectedly the work brought to attention the finding that most bettors, even those following logical systems, will, at times, adopt superstitious practices. Examples are provided of logical, yet simple, selection systems that could be beneficially adopted by those persons who would otherwise follow naive and superstitious systems of selection.

Full textAbstract:
In the nineteenth century, as society in Victorian Britain adjusted to the effects of urbanization and industrialization, social roles began to shift, changes that were reflected in the children’s book illustrations of Randolph Caldecott, Henry J. Ford, and Beatrix Potter. This time period was considered the golden age of children’s book illustrations due to a large boom in both number and quality available. These children’s books illustrators had a lasting impact on culture and aesthetics and reinforced the social constructions of the new urban middle class. Randolph Caldecott’s illustrations of nursery rhymes gave new interpretations to familiar texts, some of which furthered shifts in gender roles for both males and females. Andrew Lang’s fairy tale series, illustrated by H. J. Ford, walked a fine line between high art ideals and consumerism. Ford’s illustrations referenced the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic. The fairytale genre has emphasized female roles from its inception, and Lang's and Ford's focus on an essentially English femininity added complexities to messages about the ideal woman. Beatrix Potter’s subversive work can be seen as the culmination of the Victorian period. She satirized the ideal woman at home, illuminating the anxieties and pressures of the domestic sphere and exploring the Victorians' fixation with the etiquettes of social rank. In an attempt to further the scope of traditional art history, this dissertation shows that, even in consumerist-driven visual culture, even in seemingly inconsequential children’s book illustration, we can see the impact of key social changes and values.

Full textAbstract:
We explore the integration of projected imagery with a physical book that acts as a tangible interface to multimedia data. Using a camera and projector pair, a tracking framework is presented wherein the 3D position of planar pages are monitored as they are turned back and forth by a user, and data is correctly warped and projected onto each page at interactive rates to provide the user with an intuitive mixed-reality experience. The book pages are blank, so traditional camera-based approaches to tracking physical features on the display surface do not apply. Instead, in each frame, feature points are independently extracted from the camera and projector images, and matched to recover the geometry of the pages in motion. The book can be loaded with multimedia content, including images and videos. In addition, volumetric datasets can be explored by removing a page from the book and using it as a tool to navigate through a virtual 3D volume.

Work is presented to show one architect's findings, relating process rather than a single project. The book itself is conceived as the final product. Included are pages from the architect's notebook; axonometric studies and perspective sketches; and diagrams of the work. The idea for a chapel is presented; the chapel may be explained, but is not yet defined. Short projects, each contributing to the architect's understanding of his world, follow.<br>Master of Architecture

El presente Plan de negocio trata de una librería virtual, cuyo fin es poner al alcance de todos los usuarios interesados (colegios, universidades, institutos, así como personas interesadas) libros y publicaciones electrónicas de carácter técnico. Dichas publicaciones y libros electrónicos serán proveídos por editoriales nacionales e internacionales, a través de convenios, los que serán incorporados en una plataforma web para bridar su accesibilidad a los usuarios. La plataforma web en cuestión permitirá a los diferentes usuarios el acceso a través de un login y password, y contará con un motor de búsqueda que permitirá efectuar filtros de búsqueda por diferentes criterios (simples o compuestos), tales como: por autor, editorial, titulo, tema y similares. El esquema de negocio que planteamos consiste en que siendo una persona individual o cliente institucional (colegio, universidad o instituto), a través de un fee mensual o anual, según sea el caso, tendrá acceso, a través de dos formas, a la librería virtual, y estas consisten en: Acceso a publicaciones electrónicas por un tiempo limitado (mensual, trimestral o semestral), luego del cual el acceso es bloqueado. Acceso a adquisición de publicaciones electrónicas por un precio establecido. Entendemos que actualmente, el acceso a publicaciones técnicas se da a través de las diversas instituciones (colegios, universidades, institutos) pero principalmente a los miembros de dichas instituciones, y el acceso es limitado o restringido a terceros. Por otro lado, la renovación y/o actualización de los diferentes títulos de publicaciones, en las entidades mencionadas, no se da ni en tiempos ni en la calidad que se espera en todos los casos. Asimismo, no todas las entidades están en capacidad económica y logística de implementar una biblioteca variada y actualizada debidamente en el más amplio sentido del término. El país ha experimentado un crecimiento económico continuo, y consideramos que una contribución a dicho desarrollo es hacer accesible al mayor número de usuarios una variada oferta de publicaciones y libros en formato electrónico. En ese sentido, el enfoque del negocio se orienta a prestar el servicio, inicialmente a los sectores socio-económicos A, B y C, los que cuentan con la mayor cobertura a internet, que es el medio por el cual brindaremos el servicio. También consideramos que existen dos ámbitos en los cuales nuestro servicio será demandado, el nivel escolar (primaria y secundaria), y el nivel universitario (Pre-Grado y Post-Grado), y se ofrecerán productos para cada uno de dichos ámbitos. A nivel de usuarios, se plantea establecer convenios con los colegios, universidades e institutos, a fin de, en forma corporativa, brindar acceso a publicaciones electrónicas en tiempo real y debidamente actualizadas, en las diferentes materias que dichas instituciones brindan. Consideramos que este plan de negocio ofrece beneficios múltiples, ya que ofrece acceso a una plataforma web, única en su género en el país, con una variedad de material técnico que ninguna entidad educativa ofrece actualmente, elimina restricciones de los estudiantes al acceso a material técnico diverso y no circunscrito a su propia entidad, sino que introduce a dichos estudiantes al uso de herramientas tecnológicas de vanguardia en el ámbito educativo; así como contribuye indirectamente a la conciencia ecología, al ser publicaciones electrónicas, no afectando a la naturaleza.<br>Tesis

Tao, Yizhou. "Decoding Book Barcode Images." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1777.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigated a method of barcode reconstruction to address the recovery of a blurred and convoluted one-dimensional barcode. There are a lot of types of barcodes used today, such as Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, etc. Our algorithm applies to the universal barcode, EAN 13. We extend the methodologies proposed by Iwen et al. (2013) in the journal article "A Symbol-Based Algorithm for Decoding barcodes." The algorithm proposed in the paper requires a signal measured by a laser scanner as an input. The observed signal is modeled as a true signal corrupted by a Gaussian convolution, additional noises, and an unknown multiplier. The known barcode dictionaries were incorporated into the forward map between the true barcode and the observed barcode. Unlike the one proposed by Iwen et al., we take dictionaries of different patterns into account, specifically for decoding book barcodes from images which are captured with smartphones. We also presented numerical experiments that examined the performance of the proposed algorithm and illustrated that the unique determination of barcode digits is possible even in the presence of noise.

Full textAbstract:
Typographers and book designers most important tasks are to preserve the texts, authors thoughts and ideas for posterity, and through their work successfully invite and communicate the content of these writings to the readers. In their work, the designers have sets of rules and theories to their assistance, and regardless if they choose to follow them, they should know that they exist and know why they choose to follow or break them. This essays intention is to, by using qualitative semi-structured interviews, find out how today’s book designers view their work and the different fields that are included in it, for example typography, materials and cover design. Also how the designers relate to the theory presented in this essay. Three book designers were interviewed and their knowledge and experience formed the basis for the empirical data collection and the comparison against the theory. The findings revealed that the book designers approach to their work is very similar to the theory, even though they themselves claim that they don’t use any specific theories. As an experienced book designer the guidelines become as natural to their work as the process to inhale oxygen. But it takes practice and years of experience before one reaches this point.<br>Typografers och bokformgivares viktigaste uppgifter är att bevara texter, författares tankar och idéer till eftervärlden, och att genom sitt arbete lyckas bjuda in och kommunicera dessa texters innehåll till läsaren. Till detta arbete har formgivaren mängder av regler och teorier till sin hjälp, och oavsett om han eller hon väljer att följa dem bör de veta att de finns och veta varför de väljer att följa eller bryta dem. Detta arbete syftar till att med hjälp av an kvalitativ semi-strukturerad intervjumetod ta reda på hur dagens bokformgivare ser på sitt arbete och de olika områden som ingår i detta, såsom typografi, material och formgivning av omslag, samt hur de förhåller sig till de olika teorier som presenteras i arbetet. Intervjuerna involverade tre bokformgivare vars kunskaper och erfarenheter ligger till grund för empiriinsamlingen och den jämförelse som gjort gentemot teorin. I slutsatserna kom det fram att bokformgivares förhållningssätt till sitt arbete har stora likheter med teorin, även fast de själv påstår sig inte använda sig av några speciella teorier. Som erfaren bokformgivare blir riktlinjerna en lika naturlig process som att inhalera syre. Men det krävs praktik och många års erfarenhet innan man hamnar här.

Full textAbstract:
Are we doing enough to market newly acquired book titles? Libraries purchase and subscribe to many new book titles each year, both print and electronic. However, we rely on the expectation that users will periodically search our systems to discover newly acquired titles. Static lists and displays have been traditional marketing methods for libraries, but require tedious time and effort to maintain. Without a practical solution for an academic library, East Tennessee State University developed an automated process to generate book widgets utilizing data from Alma Analytics. These widgets are now deployed in our subject guides, website, and on our digital displays. This article outlines the development and implementation of these widgets. We also discuss the challenges we encountered, such as finding image covers and custom subject tagging.
