Research Abstract |
We aim to build a new browsing/reading environment, in which children's browsing and reading of picture books together with families and/or friends is steadily enhanced, by installing the BrowsReader in the children's room of a public library or a kindergarten. The children, by gathering around the BrowsReader, can browse many and various picture books and then choose and read a book by flipping pages on it. After reproducing each printed, digitized or web picture book as a surrogate picture book, we first introduce two basic notions ; an abstracted bookshelf, which presents the front-cover images of the surrogate picture books in the form where all are linearly arranged, with some of the images bundled in places, and a unified view, which presents each page of any surrogate picture book in a form that seems like a printed picture book's page. We realized multiple new browsing/reading environments in the children's rooms of Oita Prefectural library, Beppu University attached kindergarten, etc., and clarified the effects of the BrowsReader in the children's activity in browsing/reading together.
