Flöte zu Flûte à Flute: A Survey of Transverse & Vertical Flute Terminology in London, 1575-1820
(2021-04-20) Carter, Sarah Helen
For flute performers and music researchers alike, inconsistencies in terminology in the early modern period can frequently cause frustration and confusion when working with flute music or documents from that era. Historical documents refer to transverse flute and vertical flute – known commonly today as the flute and recorder, respectively – using a variety of terms that often overlap. This makes it virtually impossible at times to determine which instrument a piece may have been written for or a book may be referring to, which, in turn, puts the accuracy of a performer’s interpretation or a researcher’s work in serious jeopardy. While some scholarship attempting to clarify these nomenclature discrepancies exist, those essays fail to thoroughly track the development of the nomenclature itself. This convenience-sampled survey of flute-related primary source documents published in London between 1575 and 1820 provides an in-depth look at how exactly the terminology used in reference to the transverse and vertical flute evolved in England. The documents utilized in this survey are drawn from a variety of sources, including, the Baldwin Wallace University Riemenschneider Bach Institute and the Library of Congress Dayton C. Miller Collection. By analyzing how these terms have evolved over time, this study not only provides important observations on shifts in nomenclature that will prove invaluable to ensuring accuracy in the work of performers and researchers alike, but it also prompts numerous topics of further studying, opening the door for further flute-specific etymological research.
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.
The Archives as a Muse: Incorporating Primary Sources into the Student Works of Undergraduate Composers
(2023-11-04) Carter, Sarah Helen
When the author, in her third year of undergraduate music composition studies, decided to shift her career path towards music librarianship, one of her greatest struggles was figuring out how to tie my newfound field of study into the pieces she was writing as a student composer. What ultimately served to bridge that gap was the use of archival materials and other primary sources as a source of core inspiration from the outset of the composition process. This poster will outline the development of two pieces the author wrote as an undergraduate – “The Bird Fancyer’s Companion” and “je vous aime et aimerai jusqu'au tombeau” – and the primary sources they are derived from – two editions of “The Bird Fancyer’s Delight” (c.1717) from the Library of Congress’ Dayton C. Miller Collection and two published collections of correspondence between Princess Isabella von Parma (1741-1763) and Maria Christina, Duchess of Teschen (1742-1798). These experiences will be framed as a case study with the ultimate goal of showing how primary sources can be made most relevant to the undergraduate student composer when taken outside of the traditional realm of music history coursework and presented as a potential source of inspiration for their compositions.
Data Managers’ Perspectives on Designated Communities and FAIR Principles
(2019-03-31) Zegler-Poleska, Ewa; Donaldson, Devan Ray
This poster presents preliminary findings of the study on data managers’ perspectives on changes in the Designated Community, related evolution of support services provided by the repository, and the FAIR Principles. The study examines the case of the Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS) hosted by the Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS), a research institute of Indiana University.
Copyright Provisions in Law Journal Publication Agreements
(American Association of Law Libraries, 2010-05) Keele, Benjamin J.
Mr. Keele examined copyright provisions of law journal publication agreements and found that a minority of journals ask authors to transfer copyright. Most journals also permit authors to self-archive articles. He recommends journals make their agreements publicly available and use licenses instead of copyright transfers.
