 Uborrow is currently on hiatus

o Read chapter 13 first and Use handout for assignment #5

directory of source materials from Colonial times to WWII.

o In reference folio ML120.U5 R47

 Also, catalogs of composer’s personal libraries

 Union catalogs – multiple libraries (in books and online)

 HUGE catalogs

o WorldCat

 Like infohawk for American+ Libraries

  Link on library page

o Karlsruhe Virtueller Katalog

 Meta-search engine for European libraries

 Google it

 Sources for where to locate manuscripts and early materials

 Grove, “Sources, Ms.” Article

o Arranged chronologically

o Includes published modern edition

 RISM

o More modern than Grove

o Handout explains how to use RISM and what you can find

o Careful: just because a composer’s name is handwritten

doesn’t mean it was handwritten by the composer

 How to approach assignment #5

o Does the question ask for a ms.?

 Use RISM or Grove (sources, Ms.)

o Early published edition

 Rism, worldcat, kvk

o A library?

 Grove libraries or Krummel

 Maybe Worldcat or KVK

o Specific item in a library?

 Workcat, KVK (sometimes Krummel)

o Materials in a special collection or archive?

 Archive Finder, Krummel, or Grove libraries

o On the second half, you need to find two sources not owned by Iowa.

 Since items may be listed in Worldcat multiple times, don’t assume that

UIowa doesn’t have it. Double-check with Infohawk

 If it’s a dissertation, it’s probably on our Proquest database, so it probably

won’t count.
