Anatomy of Aggregate Collections: The Example of Google Print for Libraries Introduction Google's December 2004 announcement [1] of its intention to collaborate with five major research libraries – Harvard University, the University of Michigan, Stanford University, the University of Oxford, and the New York Public Library – to digitize and surface their print book collections in the Google searching universe has, predictably, stirred conflicting opinion, with some viewing the project as a welcome opportunity to enhance the visibility of library collections in new environments, and others wary of Google's prospective role as gateway to these collections [2]. The project has been vigorously debated on discussion lists and blogs, with the participating libraries commonly referred to as "the Google 5".

A Room With a View by E.M. Forster: Chapter 1 Part One.Chapter I: The Bertolini The Signora had no business to do it," said Miss Bartlett, "no business at all. She promised us south rooms with a view close together, instead of which here are north rooms, looking into a courtyard, and a long way apart. Oh, Lucy!" "And a Cockney, besides!" said Lucy, who had been further saddened by the Signora's unexpected accent. "This meat has surely been used for soup," said Miss Bartlett, laying down her fork. "I want so to see the Arno. "Any nook does for me," Miss Bartlett continued; "but it does seem hard that you shouldn't have a view." Lucy felt that she had been selfish. ------"You must have it," said Miss Bartlett, part of whose travelling expenses were paid by Lucy's mother--a piece of generosity to which she made many a tactful allusion. "No, no. "I insist on it. "She would never forgive me." The ladies' voices grew animated, and--if the sad truth be owned--a little peevish. "I have a view, I have a view." Miss Bartlett was startled. "Why?"
Kokkini Zita - Linux Audio Libzita-resampler is a C++ library for resampling audio signals. It is designed to be used within a real-time processing context, to be fast, and to provide high-quality sample rate conversion. The library operates on signals represented in single-precision floating point format. For multichannel operation both the input and output signals are assumed to be stored as interleaved samples. The API allows a trade-off between quality and CPU load. The source distribution includes the resample application.
