    Handing Flute Researchers the Keys: Developing a Flute Research Guide for the Riemenschneider Bach Institute
    (2022-04-28) Carter, Sarah Helen
    The Riemenschneider Bach Institute (RBI) at Baldwin Wallace University houses a plethora of fascinating flute-related materials. However, the students who would have the easiest access to these materials are either unaware of their existence or unsure of where to begin their research. And, for researchers outside of BW who may not immediately be able to visit the RBI, it is difficult to discern the value of an item to their work based on catalog records alone. The new Flute Materials in the Riemenschneider Bach Institute research guide addresses these issues in numerous ways. This public-facing virtual guide provides in-depth descriptions of over 25 flute-related items from the RBI’s collections including lists of contents, unique markings, and biographical information on authors/contributors. This provides students who are unaware of or intimidated by the possibility of researching these items with an accessible place to learn more about them at any time. And, for researchers outside of BW, the guide provides a way to quickly learn more about a given item and explore the ways in which it could be incorporated into their work before even setting foot in the RBI. Ultimately, the Flute Materials in the Riemenschneider Bach Institute research guide marks an important step towards making the RBI’s fascinating array of flute materials more accessible to all and, hopefully, will pave the way for additional subject-specific virtual RBI research guides in the future.

    Learning to Think Outside the Bachs: Reimagining Information Literacy with Archival Materials for Undergraduate Students at the Baldwin Wallace University Riemenschneider Bach Institute
    (2022-10-29) Carter, Sarah Helen
    Despite the extensive collection of archival music materials the Riemenschneider Bach Institute offers freely for Baldwin Wallace Conservatory students to use, very few of those students regularly engage with the RBI’s collections. In addition, the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory currently has no formal information literacy curriculum established for music students, which leaves them without essential information discovery tools and skills upon graduation. This poster will present a new course-integrated information literacy framework developed for the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory. The framework incorporates the Riemenschneider Bach Institute’s archival materials to ensure that students are not only able to take full advantage of the unique items in the Bach Institute’s collections, but are also able to engage with information and archival materials more effectively upon graduation.
