Datapond – Data Driven Music Builder
DataPond – Data Driven Music Builder DataPond Data Driven Music Builder Over the past couple of months I have been attempting to teach myself to read music. This is something that I have been meaning to do for a long time. In high school the music teachers seemed to have no interest in students other than those with existing natural talent. The rest of us, they just taught appreciation of Bob Dylan. I can't stand Bob Dylan. So I never learned to read music or play an instrument. Having discovered the enjoyment of making stringed instruments such as the papermaché sitar, the Bad-Arse Mountain Dulcimer, a Windharp (inspired by this one), and a couple of other odd instruments. More recently I made a Lap Steel Slide guitar based on the electronics described in David Eric Nelson's great book “Junkyard Jam Band” and on Shane Speal's guide on building Lapsteels. I built mine out of waste wood palette wood and it connects to an old computer speaker system I pulled out of my junk box and turned to the purpose. It ended up sounding pretty good – to my ear at least. Anyway, I have instruments-a-plenty, but didn't know how to play'em so I decided to teach myself music. The biggest early challenge was reading music. I'm sure it would have been easier if a mathematician had been involved in designing the notation system. To teach myself I decided that reading sheet music and transcribing it into the computer would be a good way of doing it.

The Roles of Academic Libraries in Shaping Music Publishing in the Digital Age
The Roles of Academic Libraries in Shaping Music Publishing in the Digital Age Kimmy Szeto Abstract Libraries are positioned at the nexus of creative production, music publishing, performance, and research. The academic library com- munity has the potential to play an inﬂuential leadership role in shaping the music publishing life cycle, making scores more readily discoverable and accessible, and establishing itself as a force that empowers a wide range of creativity and scholarship. Yet the music publishing industry has been slow to capitalize on the digital market, and academic libraries have been slow to integrate electronic music scores into their collections. In this paper, I will discuss the historical, technical, and human factors that have contributed to this moment, and the critical next steps the academic library community can take in response to the booming digital music publishing market to make a lasting impact through setting technological standards and best practices, developing education in these technologies and related intellectual property issues, and becoming an active partner in digital music publishing and in innovative research and creative possibilities. Introduction Academic libraries have been slow to integrate electronic music scores into their collections even though electronic resources are considered integral to library services. The Association of College and Research Libraries con- siders electronic resources integral to information literacy, access to re- search, and collection policies in academic libraries (ACRL 2006a, 2006b). Collection development surveys conducted by the National Center for Educational Statistics indicate electronic books, database subscriptions, and electronic reference materials constitute roughly half the materials LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol. 67, No. 2, 2018 (“The Role and Impact of Commercial and Noncom- mercial Publishers in Scholarly Publishing on Academic Libraries,” edited by Lewis G.
