More importantly, all the major sections have now been uploaded and the Arts Ensemble Library Online project is for the most part a ready and complete product accurately detailing the music of the Library.

In the remaining months of the Spring semester, there will be a sorting of our large collection of LPs to determine which ones may go on sale. The remaining ones will then be uploaded to the website. Also, there is a small of reference books on music theory, music history, sight-singing and opera which will be uploaded shortly.

1. OFFICE HOURS
The Arts Ensemble Library will be open 10:30-11:30am on Wednesdays, and other times by appointment (email afilmer@iusb.edu).

2. WIND ENSEMBLE FILES

The wind ensemble section is the last remaining major section to be uploaded to the website (not taking into account our reference section).

UPDATE: APRIL 29, 2007

The symphonic section of the Arts Ensemble Library Online is complete. All symphonic files that are housed in the Arts Ensemble Library are listed on this website.

The manual file catalogs for the Jazz section in the Arts Ensemble Library are complete, and the final two catalogs (for Winds and Vocal files) are currently being updated. For the next two weeks, these catalogs may not be available for use, and those requiring materials from these sections should contact the Manager at afilmer@iusb.edu.

During the summer, the Arts Ensemble Library will not be staffed; however, materials from the library can be acquired via a member of the music faculty at the Raclin School of the Arts. This website will continue to be updated via the uploading of files. The original plan of uploading the Jazz section has been changed; it has been decided that the Vocal section will be uploaded first, as it services both the University Vocal Ensemble as well as the Symphonic Choir, in addition to affiliated vocal groups from the area.

UPDATE: May 31, 2007

The files from the Vocal section are in the process of being uploaded. Currently, the maps for each of the shelves in this section have been uploaded, and all of the maps can be viewed via the tap Maps in the side bar to the right. The earlier Symphonic maps have been rearranged along with the new Vocal maps to provide a better flow from map to map.

Currently the library is also handling some rewriting of score material outside of this website project.

Also, the dates previously published with file numbers have been minimized with just a statement of the day instead, which is meant to add clarity to the site.

UPDATE: July 6, 2007

The Jazz Section (with the exception of 12 files which require checking in the Fall), has been uploaded to this website. Thus, the Symphonic, Vocal and Jazz sections are now operational.

The final major section of music for wind ensemble, will be uploaded in the Fall as the manual catalog after cross reference checking with the files on the shelves. This basically means ensuring every file on the shelves are listed in the manual card catalog, and all the files in the catalog are found on the shelves. This is an extensive process that each section of the Arts Ensemble Library goes through prior to being uploaded to this website
to ensure that the website is accurate.

For now, materials from the South Bend Symphony Orchestra collection, which is housed in the Arts Ensemble Library, as well as our small collection of instrumental works, will be uploaded.

UPDATE: June 29, 2007

The Arts Ensemble Library now hosts its Choral Section on this website, minus some 60 files which require some checking in the Fall before being uploaded.

Thus, this website now contains the symphonic and choral repertoire. Like the symphonic repertoire, the choral repertoire includes maps, and will also include pictures of the areas of the library in the Fall.

In addition, and as may be noted above, some additional links and posts have been added to help the process of searching for files.

UPDATE: MARCH 25, 2007

1. The Symphonic catalog from N to Z has been successfully uploaded.

A couple additional points of note:

2. The maps available on this site are included for use of the Raclin School of the Arts music faculty who have access to the library housed in the Arts Office.

3. For others who require materials for reference, contact the Manager at afilmer@iusb.edu.

4. The label of "urtext" is assumed as default for contemporary and pop works; otherwise the name of an arranger will be posted.

UPDATE: MARCH 17, 2007

Arts Ensemble Library Online is now linked to the Schurz Library website, under Music as well as Fine Arts of Reference and Research. Many thanks to Director of Library Services Michele Russso, and Alison Stankrauff, as well as Assoc. Prof. Dr Kolt in making this link possible.

Currently, the Symphonic Section of the Library is being uploaded, and is expected to be completed by the end of March 2007. The manual catalog of the Jazz section is currently being updated and checked, after which it will be next in line to be placed online.
