Background
There are two models for digital music among libraries. One is the e-reserve system set up by University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Pennsylvania State University and in this state by St. Cloud. In this system, the access to the music is limited only to authenticated students in individual classes, who lose this privilege once the class is over.Indiana University, however, set up the Variations (and now Variations2) project at the William and Gayle Cook Music Library. In this model, the distribution of the streamed sound is limited to the music library, part of the Main Library, and one classroom. Variations 2 allows the access in all the computer labs on campus. The recordings in the Music Library's collection can be found by searching the online catalog. Fogler Library, at the University of Maine, allows access to their Listening Center Online to students and faculty on their campus network.
The Digital Music Library Project here at Krueger Library has the music tracks only available within the Library or other campus buildings, has the additional protection of streaming audio, and has each track listed separately. The purpose of the project is primarily for educational use: to allow the students in the Music Department access to the pieces for their research projects.
