Description des dispositifs de l’offre numérique dans les bibliothèques de l’enquête Usages et représentations des nouvelles technologies en bibliothèques. La Médiathèque Intercommunale de la Ville Nouvelle de Fos propose la mise en réseau des ressources de quatre sites distincts répartis sur les communes de Miramas, Fos, Istres et Entressen. La médiathèque de Miramas s'impose comme le plus important de ces pôles par le nombre d'inscrits (6710 en 1997 contre 6430 à Istres, 3679 à Fos et 584 à Entressen). En plus d'une section jeunesse spécifique, la médiathèque de Miramas s'articule autour de cinq pôles répartis sur deux étages : c'est au rez-de-chaussée que se situent les sections arts et loisirs (arts plastiques et décoratifs, cinéma, photographie, musique, sports, jeux, etc.) et langues et littérature (romans, biographies, bandes dessinées, etc.). Les banques de renseignements et d'emprunt occupent une place centrale dans ce rez-de- chaussée et l'on trouve face à elles deux premiers postes de consultations multimédias. tel-00674659, version 1 - 27 Feb 2012 Les sections société (sociologie, économie, droit, emploi-formation, etc.), civilisation (encyclopédies générales, philosophie, psychologie, patrimoine, etc.) et sciences et techniques (y compris cuisine, jardinage et bricolage) ainsi que les salles de recherches prennent quant à elles place au premier étage. On trouve ici encore deux postes de consultations multimédias placés au voisinage direct d'une banque de renseignements. Les cédéroms accessibles au prêt (environ 200 titres) sont disponibles dans toutes les sections et font l'objet d'un classement par discipline identique à celui des autres documents de la médiathèque. La consultation d'Internet est gratuite mais limitée une demi-heure maximum et à trois personnes par poste. Il est également possible de consulter Internet dans les salles de recherche, sur rendez-vous uniquement. Enfin, l'accès à la messagerie électronique n'est pas offert par la médiathèque de Miramas. II La médiathèque La Durance de Cavaillon présente une gestion de l'espace assez voisine puisqu'elle organise ses collections autour de cinq espaces. La section Adultes se trouve au rez-de-chaussée et occupe deux salles distinctes : une première consacrée à l' actualité dans laquelle il est possible de consulter la presse, les bandes dessinées ainsi qu'une partie des livres et films documentaires pour adultes (fonds régional, pays et voyages, sports) ; une seconde salle destinée à la littérature, aux arts et au cinéma ainsi qu'à l'autre partie des livres et films documentaires. Au premier étage, on accède à la section jeunesse (enfants de 18 mois à 14 ans) ainsi qu'à la salle d'études . Le second étage, enfin, est réservé à la musique et propose l'emprunt de livres, disques, partitions, cédéroms, revues ou films musicaux. Deux ordinateurs sont présents dans chacune des salles de la médiathèque sans être rassemblés dans un espace spécifique : le premier est généralement dédié au catalogue informatisé se présentant sous la forme d'une base de données alors que le second poste permet la consultation de cédéroms choisis selon la thématique de la salle. Il est ainsi possible de consulter le Dictionnaire des œuvres littéraires de langue française ou le cédérom consacré à la Bibliothèque Nationale de France dans l'espace consacré à la littérature alors que l'on trouvera plutôt des cédéroms documentaires en salle d'actualité ou encore des dictionnaires en salle d'études. Les cédéroms accessibles en prêt (soit un peu plus d'une centaine de titres au moment de tel-00674659, version 1 - 27 Feb 2012 l'enquête) sont eux aussi organisés en cinq thématiques (sciences et techniques, arts et littérature, histoire et géographie, jeunesse, musique) et proposés sur des rayons proches des livres abordant des thèmes voisins. Précisons encore que lors de notre enquête, la consultation d'Internet n'était pas offerte aux usagers de la médiathèque de Cavaillon. Alors que la bibliothèque Abbaye-les-bains située à Grenoble propose à ses usagers des dispositifs relativement proches de ceux observés à Miramas et Cavaillon (séparation des espaces adultes, actualité et jeunesse, consultation de cédéroms thématiques et poste Internet proche de la borne de renseignements, consultable sur rendez-vous), le site de Grand'Place se distingue par une séparation plus nette des zones réservées à la consultation des bornes informatiques. En effet, dans cette médiathèque prenant place au cœur d'un important centre commercial, on trouve en fait quatre salles principales. Au III rez-de-chaussée, outre le hall d'accueil comportant la borne d'inscription et d'emprunt, se situe une première salle essentiellement consacrée aux documents imprimés. Cette première salle est en fait découpée en cinq secteurs occupés respectivement par une banque de renseignements (placée au centre de la pièce) les journaux et périodiques, les bandes dessinées, les livres et enfin un espace installé dans le voisinage immédiat de l'entrée et réservé à la consultation de cédéroms et du catalogue informatisé (accessible sur des ordinateurs connectés au réseau Internet mais sur lesquels, seul ce catalogue ainsi qu'une présentation des bibliothèques grenobloises sont consultables 1). On accède ensuite à une salle réservée à la vidéothèque et à la logithèque disposant d'un poste de consultation Internet placé à l'entrée de la pièce, sous le regard direct du personnel occupant la banque de renseignements toute proche. Les consultations ont lieu sur rendez-vous et ici encore le service de messagerie n'est pas offert (un panneau situé au- dessus du poste stipule même que l'usage de la messagerie est interdit). Des séances d'initiation à la consultation d'Internet et des cédéroms ont lieu le samedi après-midi sur rendez-vous. Enfin, une salle consacrée à la musique (cd-audio, partitions) côtoie une artothèque au premier étage. Les salles de lecture des hauts de jardin de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France occupent dans le dispositif d'enquête une place à part, d'abord, parce qu'elles présentent une offre tel-00674659, version 1 - 27 Feb 2012 documentaire davantage tournée vers l'étude et la recherche que cela n'est le cas pour les autres sites retenus. L'organisation et l'orientation des collections placent d'emblée le lecteur face à une série de dispositifs (genres d'ouvrages disponibles, signalétique, emplacement des rayonnages et des places assises, ouvrages uniquement consultables sur place) qui se rencontrent plutôt dans une bibliothèque universitaire que dans une médiathèque municipale de prêt. Les thématiques générales des différentes salles des hauts de jardins témoignent d'ailleurs de ce fait puisqu'à l'exception d'une salle d'actualité (salle A) se rencontrant assez fréquemment dans les bibliothèques municipales, on observe une gestion de l'espace propre aux bibliothèques d'études avec une section 1 Lors de notre passage, le catalogue informatisé, anciennement consultable sur Minitel, venait d'être transféré sur le réseau Internet. Nous avons ainsi pu constater que bon nombre d'usagers continuaient à désigner les ordinateurs proposant la consultation du catalogue par le terme de Minitel, rappelant si cela était nécessaire combien les supports documentaires informatisés peuvent parfois s'avérer opaques.

  • Game Developer Index 2010 Foreword
    SWEDISH GAME INDUSTRY’S REPORTS 2011 Game Developer Index 2010 Foreword It’s hard to imagine an industry where change is so rapid as in the games industry. Just a few years ago massive online games like World of Warcraft dominated, then came the breakthrough for party games like Singstar and Guitar Hero. Three years ago, Nintendo turned the gaming world upside-down with the Wii and motion controls, and shortly thereafter came the Facebook games and Farmville which garnered over 100 million users. Today, apps for both the iPhone and Android dominate the evolution. Technology, business models, game design and marketing changing almost every year, and above all the public seem to quickly embrace and follow all these trends. Where will tomorrow’s earnings come from? How can one make even better games for the new platforms? How will the relationship between creator and audience change? These and many other issues are discussed intensively at conferences, forums and in specialist press. Swedish success isn’t lacking in the new channels, with Minecraft’s unprecedented success or Battlefield Heroes to name two examples. Independent Games Festival in San Francisco has had Swedish winners for four consecutive years and most recently we won eight out of 22 prizes. It has been touted for two decades that digital distribution would outsell traditional box sales and it looks like that shift is finally happening. Although approximately 85% of sales still goes through physical channels, there is now a decline for the first time since one began tracking data. The transformation of games as a product to games as a service seems to be here.

  • Parham Gholami
    June 29th, 2015 Re: Docket No. 2014-7 Exemptions to Prohibition Against Circumvention of Technological Measures Protecting Copyrighted Works Dear Ms. Charlesworth, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take part in the hearing regarding Class 23. The following is my response to your post-hearing questions. 1. Please explain whether, and under what circumstances, video game publishers reissue or repackage games where the publisher or developer has previously ended support for a server that enables single-player and/or multiplayer play. Please provide illustrative examples, including an explanation of the similarities and differences between the original and reissued products and the role of technological protection measures. How frequently does this occur? Several games being sold today have effectively been digitally reissued and no longer have the core online multiplayer functionality available to the customer. Nintendo’s Mario Kart DS (2005), as discussed during the public hearing, was re-released for purchase on the Nintendo Wii U on April 23rd, 2015 through their online marketplace (Nintendo eShop). The menus to access the game’s multiplayer features that use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo’s online multiplayer service, are fully visible within the game. However, trying to access them spits out a generic error that, when searched online, only states that the game console was not able to successfully connect to the internet. In truth, the user cannot play online because the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection has been discontinued since May 20th, 2014. Despite this being a significant component of the game, nowhere on either Nintendo’s eShop website1 or within the Wii U’s eShop listing does Nintendo acknowledge that the game’s online multiplayer has been discontinued.

  • The Reality Paradox
    The Reality Paradox: Authenticity, fidelity and the real in Battlefield 4 Richard Stevens and Dave Raybould, with additional contributions from Ben Minto, Audio Director Battlefield 4.1 Although the interactive medium of video games is often referred to as non-linear, since progression through the game may follow different paths on repeated playthroughs, it is typically much more linear than the medium of film with respect to its treatment of time and space. The grammar of film involves frequent cuts between perspectives, geographical locations and times, whereas, for example, military first person shooter games much more closely match the perceptual experience of everyday life through their spatial and temporal continuity. It is not surprising, then, that this game genre often aspires to simulate the reality of the physical world (Gapper, 2014) based on an assumption that the construction of a ‘believable, realistic space’ will be a significant driver for players’ immersion in the game (Collins, 2008). Indeed, the trailer to Battlefield 3 (Electronic Arts, 2011a) posited the question ‘Is it real? Or is it Battlefield 3?’ (Electronic Arts, 2011b).2 This paper will examine how the Battlefield series of games facilitates player immersion3 in the game world by appropriating audio characteristics from our typically mediated experience of conflict and through a meticulous approach to modeling an authentic real-world audio experience. The paper also discusses how we might reconcile this immersion in the seemingly real and authentic with the presence of the more artificial or inauthentic ludic elements of the soundtrack required to support gameplay. Authenticity in ambience An attempt to clarify problematic terms such as “real” and “authentic” forms part of the discussion below but such notions should be seen within the context of Michel Chion’s point that realism does not necessarily equate to reality.
