Abstract

Adding audio and/or touch components to library exhibits has been reported to improve accessibility. Audio description replaces important visual content with equivalent spoken information. While initially implemented to assist people who are blind or have low vision, audio description is beneficial for a broader audience. The concise and objective translation of visual content promotes new ways of learning, helps individuals with language development and strengthens writing skills. This case study describes an audio description pilot project and the authors’ successful exploration into developing a cost-effective method of adding an audio description component to library displays and exhibits.

通过音频描述展品增加包容性:一个案例研究

据报道，在图书馆展品中添加音频和/或触摸组件可以提高可访问性。音频描述用等价的口语信息代替重要的视觉内容。虽然最初是为了帮助盲人或视力低下的人，但音频描述对更广泛的受众有益。视觉内容的简洁和客观的翻译促进了新的学习方式，帮助个人语言发展和加强写作技能。本案例研究描述了一个音频描述试点项目，以及作者成功探索开发一种经济有效的方法，将音频描述组件添加到图书馆的展示和展品中。

期刊介绍： College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
