[AMS-announce] ANNOUNCEMENT: DDM-Online Update

[ams-announce-admin at list.bowdoin.edu]

   The end-of-summer update of DDM-Online has now been completed and is available for your use at <http://www.chmtl.indiana.edu/ddm/>http://www.chmtl.indiana.edu/ddm/ (if you haven't already done so, please note the new server address). The current update of DDM-Online includes ca. 250 new or revised records (received as of 19 August 2007) and brings the total size of the database to 13,693 records.

   The substantial number of revised records reflects the second stage in the process we began last year of reviewing each in-progress record in DDM-Online to see if the dissertation had in fact been completed. Thanks to the diligent work of two of our graduate student assistants, Nik Taylor and Molly Ryan, and my colleague Peter Slemon, we have been able to complete more than 1,000 of these records, and in this update, approximately 200 records formerly located in the in-progress sections for "Baroque" and "Classical" have been moved over to the respective completed sections in DDM-Online (work on the in-progress sections for "General/Miscellaneous," "Antiquity," "Middle Ages," and "Renaissance" was completed in the previous update). For the next update, we will finish work on the "Romantic" section (involving more than 200 records to be moved from the in-progress to the
completed section), with the "Twentieth-Century" section to follow thereafter.

   Of course, we also continue to rely on each of you as individual authors to register your dissertation topics with us as you begin work and then to register the dissertations themselves anew as they are completed. Online registration is available through a link on the DDM-Online home page, but we are always glad to send our conventional registration postcard upon request.  Please check your record in DDM-Online, and if it needs updating from a topic to a completed dissertation (or if it is not present at all), please
do register your work with us. In addition, we always appreciate hearing from individuals who can supply information on musicologically related dissertations that have not been registered with DDM-Online for one reason or another.

   With continuing appreciation for your cooperation and assistance,

                 Sincerely yours,
                       Thomas J. Mathiesen
                       Director
