IU Music Dissertations: Providing Access to the Latin American Music Center and Beyond
Abstract:
Theses and doctoral projects produced by students in the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music are contributed to the institutional repository called IUScholarWorks and are freely available. Many of these materials, both books and scores, are directly related to Latin American music. These are the steps taken to make the discovery of these titles easier for those engaging in research in Latin American music.

10. Music Document Sources (For both Books and Scores)
Doctoral documents reach us from a few common sources:

11. Music Document Sources (For both Books and Scores)
ProQuest
Doctoral documents reach us from a few common sources:
ProQuest sends the titles to the Graduate School, and the Music titles are forwarded to us. We create MARC records to contribute to OCLC and our local catalog – more on that later.

The next source is IUScholarWorks. This is our institutional repository, and since 2012 doctoral documents have been deposited there, except for the Ph.D. documents that go to ProQuest instead. Previously, we received and processed printed copies.

Occasionally we still get print copies, especially in the case where the document is embargoed by the author. In that case, access is only possible through the print copy in the library until the embargo is lifted. Most often, copies are embargoed when the author plans to publish commercially.

We have received print copies of dissertations with gift donations. We have acquired the libraries of many retired or deceased School of Music professors, several of which included dissertations.

31. Other LAMC documents in IUScholarWorks
46 papers, abstracts, newsletters, etc.
in IUScholarWorks now
Now, in case that number seems low for Latin American Music Collection titles in IUScholarWorks, it is – remember that IUScholarWorks is relatively new, so we are more likely to have physical copies of the LAMC titles. But there are an additional 46 LAMC entries besides the doctoral documents that have been deposited into IUScholarWorks. Those include papers, abstracts, issues of newsletters and the like.

Now, in case that number seems low for Latin American Music Collection titles in IUScholarWorks, there are an additional 46 entries besides the doctoral documents. Those would include papers, abstracts, issues of newsletters and the like.
We also have plans to have authors submit to IUScholarWorks, their work that was previously submitted to the library in print, so that the Latin American music titles will be available all together in IUScholarWorks. One example is the 2006 singular work on Ginastera, which was the doctoral thesis of award-winning former director of the LAMC, Erick Carballo. His work is available in the library or from ProQuest, but not IUScholarWorks.
