Background
□ PhD in Interdisciplinary Information Science from the University of North Texas□ Dual background in Information
Technologies and Music Studies
□ Music Librarian at North Texas Libraries□ Doctoral Research Fellow for the Texas
Center for Digital Knowledge (TXCDK)□ Information Architect for the Library of
Texas Project
□ Systems Manager for the UNT PeopleSoft portal product supporting 40,000+ users

Library Services□Libraries provide:
□Digital music collections□Archived music traditions□Web-based music services□Human mediators
Examples: US Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov/library/libarch-digital.html
UNESCO World Digital Library http://www.wdl.org/en/

Why it Matters?
□Music is being stored, distributed, and retrieved more than ever before. Digital Music Libraries help:□Music consumers□Music educators□Music composers□Music performers□Music librarians
□No “entry fee”
5
Challenges & Opportunities
□Licensing restrictions vs. open access
□Digital Rights Management (DRM)□New technologies vs. limited budgets□Streaming vs. downloading□Consumer expectations□Music Information Retrieval (MIR)
□Need a “google” for music
6
Music Information Retrieval
□Current Music Information Retrieval systems□Music locator systems
□Search and locate music using meta-data
□Analytic/production systems□Search and analyze music using inherent
characteristics of music □Music samples (“incipits”)□Computational representations

MIR Research
□ A Multi-Dimensional Entropy Model of Jazz Improvisation for Music Information Retrieval□Measured information
in jazz lead-sheets□Explored entropy as a
mechanism for retrieval
□Combined with a case study of an advanced jazz improvisation course

Future Directions
□ Consumer expectations are being driven by the Web:
□ Digital Libraries will need to continue to innovate in order to keep up
□ Digital libraries will need to keep sight that they are a “public service”
□ Digital libraries will need to continue to collaborate and share resources internationally
