This year the LAC, as it is known by some, is hosted by the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht. The HKU offers bachelor and master programmes for various disciplines such as Music, Theatre, Design, Media, Games, Interaction and Music & Technology. Students and alumni of the HKU participate in the organisation and contribute to the conference. So why is the HKU doing this? And why am I doing this? To answer the first question: because the HKU recognises the importance of Open Source Software for education and, vice versa, by involving the generations that will shape the future we hope to enrich the Linux Audio community. As for the second question: I’m doing this because I am a long time Linux Audio user, an Open Source advocate, a lecturer at the HKU and I need the freedom that Open Source Software gives me. Oh, and because at last year’s LAC in Parma, Italy, I said to someone in the pub how nice it would be to host this conference in a different country or even continent every year. From that moment on my fate was sealed: I was going to get this party to Utrecht. Originally a Linux Audio developers meeting, the LAC has developed into a conference that comprises not only Linux Audio but also other Open Source Music Software and Open Content. Of course, with Linux being a true Open Source platform, Linux Audio remains the backbone of the venue. The Linux Audio community is more alive than ever, as is demonstrated by this book with its collection of high-standard papers. The conference offers enough diversity to attract people with different backgrounds and one common denominator: their devotion to open systems. With over 75 scheduled events such as presentations, workshops, discussion panels and concerts, there are lots of opportunities for everyone to participate, learn and find new inspiration, work relations and even friends. My personal hope for the LAC 2010 is that it will contribute to the acceptance and use of open systems for creating, producing, understanding and enjoying music. To conclude I would like to thank Ad Wisman for giving his approval and Jan IJzermans and Rens Machielse for backing me up. During the entire process, Robin Gareus and Frank Neumann did a tremendous job with advice, support, creating nifty solutions and handling the entire process from papers to proceedings. Thanks guys, I owe you one! Ico Bukvic, thanks for keeping the server up and running. Thank you Farida Ayojil for all your support with respect to the location, security and catering. v And then there are Than van Nispen tot Pannerden and Bertus van Dalen who generated lots of ideas, helped out in numerous situations and gave a whole new dimension to this conference. To all the others I didn’t mention: your contributions are highly appreciated. I wish you all a very good LAC 2010 and hope you enjoy your stay in Utrecht! Marc Groenewegen vi Special thanks to ...

  • Podcasting for Information Literacy
    Roberts, Regina Podcasting for Information Literacy Presented to: Information Literacy Section w/ Academic and Research Libraries Section Conduits for Transformation: Incorporating Multimodal Instruction and Learning into Information Literacy. Podcasting for Information Literacy By Regina Lee Roberts, MLS Assistant Curator, African Collection Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources [email protected] World Library and Information Congress: 73rd IFLA General Conference and Council "Libraries for the future: Progress, Development and Partnerships"19-23 August 2007, Durban, South Africa Information Literacy Section together with the Academic and Research Libraries Section Conduits for Transformation: Incorporating Multimodal Instruction and Learning into Information Literacy. Podcasting for Information Literacy By Regina Lee Roberts, MLS Assistant Curator, African Collection Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources Stanford, CA, U.S.A. Abstract: Podcasting is an alternate form of disseminating information literacy techniques that caters to the library user. It is useful for the auditory learner as well as distance education learner. Podcasting has the potential to engage all library users in an innovative way. With podcasting the library user is afforded control over when and where the content will be reviewed. This control is important in today’s information saturated landscape. Within this format, there is a possibility that conversations can be created based on the structure and content of the podcasts. The desired outcome is that these conversations will lead to a deeper understanding of how to conduct research as well as what library services have to offer. An additional benefit for libraries is that podcasting enhances the visibility of library web pages and online presence.

  • Syllabus Excerpt-Radio Experiments
    Radio Experiments - NMDS 5563-Spring.Online 15-weeks online - graduate production-studio course The New School for Public Engagement | School of Media Studies [MA Media Studies; MS Media Management] Instructor: Joan Schuman At root, radio is nothing but a pulse, a throb, an electrical charge. [It] is mostly a set of relationships, an intricate triangulation of listener, “player” and system. (Gregory Whitehead) COURSE DESCRIPTION Students explore the process and possibilities of experimental sound-making with a distinct ear towards radio-centric ‘broadcast’ realms. By critically exploring work by sound-rich storytellers as well as emergent mediated spaces, students are invited to engage in their own experiments. Students investigate form, content and media vehicles, and, in the process, explore the conventions of transmission artistry, broadcasting and podcasting (ongoing and short-form series). Short productions in various styles (documentary, impressionist narratives, radio art/ audio fiction) initially allow students to test their ears before completing final compositions. Students are expected to work individually and engage in numerous workshop critiques. Each production explores its relationship with radiophonic media, including terrestrial radio as well as online radio sites, independent podcasts, and lo-fi renegade radio, including New School’s online, student-run radio station, WNSR (operating since 2007). The class is designed for those with basic audio production skills and access to tools (on-site at New School labs or via their
