Week 16

Submitted by admin on Mon, 11/29/2010 - 08:20

Monday, November 29

Share progress on Book Projects and prepare for the installation on Wednesday.

Wednesday, December 1

The "official" runtime of the installation is from 2-4 p.m. in the 1941 Studio in Daniel Hall. You're responsible for bringing and setting up your own display for the book project. Bring a laptop if you have one, and prepare your own signage. (If you need something printed, email it to Dr. B.) Dr. B will be there from noon on to help with set-up of other exhibit materials. If you can get there at noon or shortly thereafter, that would be great. Any and all set-up assistance will be appreciated!

All book projects should be submitted either electronically or in print no later than Friday, Dec. 3. Please include a cover letter that provides contextual information, directions, or other notes. If you turn in a printed project, you can leave it in Dr. B.'s mailbox in Strode 801 (mailroom).

DVD of Robin Hood

Submitted by admin on Mon, 11/29/2010 - 13:27

If anyone has a DVD copy of Robin Hood, could you bring it to the event on Wednesday? I have a book and comic book already and thought that it might be interesting to suggest that the usual sequence of book > movie is now becoming something different, with comic books standing in for books as the vehicle for movie adaptations. Some comic books are created just for the likelihood of creating movie possibilities.

Children's Books for Exhibit

Submitted by Tates on Fri, 11/26/2010 - 16:29

Hey guys,

Just reminding you that I am bringing some of the selected Children's books that we came up with as a class. Dr. Blakesley, are you still bringing that "pop-up" little pigs version- that would be great!

Traditional Printing portion of the Exhibit

Submitted by Emily K on Sun, 11/21/2010 - 22:51

For the portion of the exhibit that deals with past printing, I have gathered some items from my father, who owns a print shop, as well as a copy of "How a Book is Made" which walks through the traditional printing process, and a copy of Eisenstein's book. We don't need much for this part of the exhibit, but a few artifacts are needed. I can bring them on the 1st of the month for the actual exhibit, but I might need help getting the objects to the building, if someone wouldn't mind!

Danke.

Group Installation Project Brochure

Submitted by Emily K on Mon, 11/15/2010 - 15:56

Attached is a brochure that I have put together. I do not know how to put together a brochure so I put, above each section, on which flap the info should go (I hope that makes sense!)

Dr. Blakesley, I have also emailed this to you.

Books on Tape

Submitted by Emily K on Mon, 11/15/2010 - 12:37

While reading "Ebooks and the Threat from 'internal constituencies,'" I was surprised to see audible books in the same category as electronic media. Or rather, I was not surprised that they were linked in that way, but rather that I had never thought of it that way. Books on tape are not something we have spoken about much in this class, but I can say they are an electronic means of reading I have delved into quite enthusiastically in the past.

Audio Books

Submitted by Kesha.G on Mon, 11/15/2010 - 01:06

I had a little “ah-ha” moment while reading Roger Magoulas’s “Ebooks and the threat from ‘internal constituencies’”. He writes that “[t]he audio book market may provide guidance as an alternate media channel that complementarily coexists with print books.” In this whole semester, I’ve never once thought about audio books, I guess because I never listen to them or purchase them. There was one time that I did borrow one from the library. (I “read” To Kill a Mockingbird by audio book.) I found this “easier” way of reading to be much more difficult than just reading the book itself.
