  • The Role of Music in the Lives of Homeless Young People
    Tuned Souls: The Role of Music in the Lives of Homeless Young People Jill P. Woelfer A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: David Hendry, Chair Susan Kemp Batya Friedman Julie A. Hersberger Program Authorized to Offer Degree: The Information School ©Copyright 2014 Jill P. Woelfer University of Washington Abstract Tuned Souls: The Role of Music is the Lives of Homeless Young People Jill P. Woelfer Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor, David G. Hendry The Information School Although music is considered to be an important part of adolescence and young adulthood, little is known about music and homeless youth. Accordingly, this dissertation research investigated the role of music in the lives of homeless young people, aged 15-25. The study was conducted in Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia and engaged homeless young people (n=202) and service providers staff who work at agencies that provide support for homeless young people (n=24). Homeless young people completed surveys (n=202), design activities, which included drawing and story writing (n=149), and semi-structured interviews (n=40). Service providers completed semi-structured interviews (n=24). Data analysis included descriptive analysis of survey data and qualitative coding of the design activities and interview responses. Findings indicated that music was an important part of everyday life for homeless young people, who listened to music daily (98%), owned music players (89%), and had wide- ranging and eclectic tastes in music which did not vary based on location.

This 2013 Supplement is intended for use with the Sixteenth Edition of the Collection and contains entries for approximately 600 titles. The items in the Collection are considered appropriate for libraries serving adult readers and have been selected with guidance from reviews and the advice of an advisory committee of librarians with special expertise in fiction. This supplement includes both the most popular fiction published in the past year and important new literary and genre titles. Also included are previously published titles filling gaps in genres such as science fiction, romance, and mystery. Although out-of-print titles are eligible for inclusion in Fiction Core Collection, in the belief that good fiction is not obsolete simply because it goes out of print, all titles included in this Supplement were available for purchase at the time of publication.
