Welcome to the Sound And Video Analysis & Instruction Laboratory (SAVAIL). Established in 1995 by the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at Indiana University with funds from the Office of Information Technologies and RUGS, since Fall 2010 SAVAIL is managed through the Indiana University Library's Digital Library Program (http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/). SAVAIL is also a partner in the EVIA Digital Archive project (www.indiana.edu/~eviada), providing facilities and personnel support to this joint project of Indiana University and the University of Michigan.
SAVAIL is a multidisciplinary technical lab that enables folklorists, ethnomusicologists, anthropologists and musicologists to analyze sound and movement as well as produce documentary materials for the presentation of research and the creation of examples for classroom use. SAVAIL is a facility where scholars apply computer aided analysis to larger questions of aesthetics, social process and individual virtuosity. The facility has enabled scholars to document, analyze, and disseminate research of a culturally diverse nature using technologies for analyzing and producing audio, video, and still imagery.
SAVAIL is staffed by two Graduate Assistants for a total of 24 hours a week (see "Hours of Operation" in the left menu for complete schedule). The GAs are responsible for instruction lab users in the hardware, software, and other technologies available in the lab; lab users are responsible for producing their own work. SAVAIL is a "do-it-yourself" lab, not a drop-off production unit. If you require assistance with production beyond instruction, please contact the lab manager at doporter@indiana.edu
The laboratory consists of 6 computer workstations, each with special capabilities. Individuals interested in working at SAVAIL should call 856-7282 or email savail@indiana.edu.
SAVAIL is located in E173 Wells Library, on the first floor of the East Tower in the Wells Library. The door is on your right, before entering the east tower commons.
PLEASE : NO FOOD OR DRINK IN THE LAB
