Grant monies to fund digital music libraryBy Eric Bartheld | |

IU will create a digital music library to support research and education in the field of music using a $3 million grant from Digital Libraries Initiative-Phase 2, a multi-agency federal program with funding from the National Science Foundation and the Nat
ional Endowment for the Humanities.
With the click of a mouse, students and faculty will have access to a collection of music in a variety of formats and from a range of musical styles and types. For example, students will be able to listen to sound recordings while displaying images of mus ical scores, or they may listen to computer-generated music while viewing computerized score notation or even improvising a new part on a computerized music keyboard. The four-year grant will allow IU information technology specialists, researchers, libra rians and music experts to establish a digital music library testbed, develop computer applications for education and research in the field of music and seek answers to the thorny issues surrounding music-related intellectual property rights. IU will develop software tools and applications to support music teaching, learning and research. More information about the project is available on the Web at: http://dml.indiana.edu/ | |
