Mashups: Supporting Music Communities @ Your Library, Michelle H. Brannen, Matthew R. Jordan, Allison Sharp, Margaret A. Roberts, Herbert H. Hobson

Black Issues Conference

The library isn’t just a study space. It’s a clearinghouse for resources to support professional, academic, and personal goals. Using music as a topic, this presentation highlights the broad range of tools available to students with an interest in music including recording equipment, multimedia support, databases, and circulating materials. Participants will learn how to create their own music with tools provided by the university, and how to use various technologies to access music and information about music while on the go.
