In September 2008, I began a journey that would lead me to engage an array of intellectual challenges relating to jazz music--both recorded work and history of the genre, archives, legal rights for access, digital librarianship, and public outreach. I coined the project "Jazz in the Stacks," because ultimately, the goal was to make approximately 2300 jazz LPs stored in the archives of St. Edwards University in Austin available to students and researchers.
The purpose of the blog is to document my progress toward reaching the goal of digital access to the music, liner notes, and cover art. I will post a weekly update that reflects the major challenges, advances, and obstacles toward achieving the goals of the project. This undertaking constitutes a spring 2009 Capstone Project toward completion of a Master's of Science in Information Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
