• A soundscape created as part of my research project for Advanced Research in LIS (597): an acoustic ethnography of Rutherford Library North. For this project I collected environmental sounds and conducted interviews asking library users questions about their perception of experience with sound in the library.

  This soundscape comprises sounds recorded in Rutherford Library North, and is intended to exemplify the themes that emerged from analyses of interviews:
  Absence of Sound: i.e. no sounds, or some sound
  Presence of sound: i.e. general sounds, specific sounds, people sounds
  Music: i.e. type of music, or effect of music
  Library Activities: i.e. environmental interactions, or cognitive/mental activities
  Who: i.e. collective vs individual
  Where: i.e. classrooms, or lecture hall
