`U.S. Patent 8,321,213

`
`
`
`1. My name is June Ann Munford. I am over the age of 18, have personal
`
`knowledge of the facts set forth herein, and am competent to testify to the
`
`same.
`
`2. I earned a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) from the
`
`University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2009. I have over ten years of
`
`experience in the library/information science field. Beginning in 2004, I
`
`have served in various positions in the public library sector including
`
`Assistant Librarian, Youth Services Librarian and Library Director. I have
`
`attached my Curriculum Vitae as APPLE-1016.
`
`3. During my career in the library profession, I have been responsible for
`
`materials acquisition for multiple libraries. In that position, I have cataloged,
`
`purchased and processed incoming library works. That includes purchasing
`
`materials directly from vendors, recording publishing data from the material
`
`in question, creating detailed material records for library catalogs and
`
`physically preparing that material for circulation. In addition to my
`
`experience in acquisitions, I was also responsible for analyzing large
`
`collections of library materials, tailoring library records for optimal catalog
`
`2
`
`
`
`search performance and creating lending agreements between libraries
`
`during my time as a Library Director.
`
`4. I am fully familiar with the catalog record creation process in the library
`
`sector. In preparing a material for public availability, a library catalog record
`
`describing that material would be created. These records are typically
`
`written in Machine Readable Catalog (herein referred to as “MARC”) code
`
`and contain information such as a physical description of the material,
`
`metadata from the material’s publisher, and date of library acquisition. In
`
`particular, the 008 field of the MARC record is reserved for denoting the
`
`date of creation of the library record itself. As this typically occurs during
`
`the process of preparing materials for public access, it is my experience that
`
`an item’s MARC record indicates the date of an item’s public availability.
`
`5. Typically, in creating a MARC record, a librarian would gather various bits
`
`of metadata such as book title, publisher and subject headings among others
`
`and assign each value to a relevant numerical field. For example, a book’s
`
`physical description is tracked in field 300 while title/attribution is tracked in
`
`field 245. The 008 field of the MARC record is reserved for denoting the
`
`creation of the library record itself. As this is the only date reflecting the
`
`inclusion of said materials within the library’s collection, it is my experience
`
`3
`
`
`
`that an item’s 008 field accurately indicates the date of an item’s public
`
`availability.
`
`6. I have reviewed APPLE-1009 “An International Comparison of Long-Term
`
`Average Speech Spectra” by Denis Byrne, et al. as published in The Journal
`
`of the Acoustical Society of America, October 1994.
`
`7. Attached hereto as APPLE-1015 is a true and correct copy of the MARC
`
`record for The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America as held by the
`
`Hope University library. I secured this record myself from the library’s
`
`public catalog. The MARC record contained within APPLE-1015accurately
`
`describes the title, author, publisher, and ISSN number of The Journal of the
`
`Acoustical Society of America. The ‘Locations’ field of this record visible on
`
`page 2 indicates this collection includes the October 1994 edition of The
`
`Journal of the Acoustical Society of America containing “An International
`
`Comparison of Long-Term Average Speech Spectra”. In comparing APPLE-
`
`1009 to APPLE-1015, it is my determination that APPLE-1009 is a true and
`
`correct copy of “An International Comparison of Long-Term Average
`
`Speech Spectra” by Denis Byrne, et al. as published in The Journal of the
`
`Acoustical Society of America October 1994.
`

`
`
`
`8. The 008 field of the MARC record in APPLE-1015indicates the date of
`
`record creation. The 008 field of APPLE-1015indicates the Hope University
`
`library first acquired this journal as of March 20, 1975 and held the journal
`
`in perpetuity until 2008. Considering this information, it is my determination
`
`that The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America October 1994 and
`
`therefore “An International Comparison of Long-Term Average Speech
`
`Spectra” was made available to the public shortly after its initial release in
`
`Fall 1994.
`
`9. I have reviewed APPLE-1013 “Sources and Effects of Low-Frequency
`
`Noise” by Birgitta Berglund, Peter Hassmen and R.F. Soames Job as
`
`published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, May 1996.
`
`10. Attached hereto as APPLE-1015is a true and correct copy of the MARC
`
`record for The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America as held by the
`
`Hope University library. I secured this record myself from the library’s
`
`public catalog. The MARC record contained within APPLE-1015accurately
`
`describes the title, author, publisher, and ISSN number of The Journal of the
`
`Acoustical Society of America. The ‘Locations’ field of this record visible on
`
`page 2 indicates this collection includes the May 1996 edition of The
`
`Journal of the Acoustical Society of America containing “Sources and
`
`5
`
`
`
`Effects of Low-Frequency Noise”. In comparing APPLE-1013 to APPLE-
`
`1015, it is my determination that APPLE-1013 is a true and correct copy of
`
`“Sources and Effects of Low-Frequency Noise” by Birgitta Berglund, Peter
`
`Hassmen and R.F. Soames Job as published in The Journal of the Acoustical
`
`Society of America May 1996.
`
`11. The 008 field of the MARC record in APPLE-1015indicates the date of
`
`record creation. The 008 field of APPLE-1015indicates the Hope University
`
`library first acquired this journal as of March 20, 1975 and held the journal
`
`in perpetuity until 2008. Considering this information, it is my determination
`
`that The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America May 1996 and
`
`therefore “Sources and Effects of Low-Frequency Noise” was made
`
`available to the public shortly after its initial release in Spring 1996.
`
`12. I have been retained on behalf of the Petitioner to provide assistance in the
`
`above-illustrated matter in establishing the authenticity and public
`
`availability of the documents discussed in this declaration. I am being
`
`compensated for my services in this matter at the rate of $100.00 per hour
`
`plus reasonable expenses. My statements are objective, and my
`
`compensation does not depend on the outcome of this matter.

`
`hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to
`
`be true; and further that these statements were made the knowledge that
`
`willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or
