Using Multimedia 13 during the 1960s. Comparing Nanda’s book from1980 with Nettl’s (2005) book shows readers the transformation of the approaches of study in the field of ethnomusicology. Music Library Association Notes provides an insightful book review of Shubha Chaudhuri’s and Anthony Seeger’s Archives for the Future: Global Perspectives on Audiovisual Archives in the 21 st Century. The book review focuses on audiovisual archives that document cultural traditions useful to the studies in the discipline of ethnomusicology. At an international conference, a group of scholars presented problem solving ideas concerning archiving music and folklore in the 21 st century. Participants discussed their experiences with archiving and the promotion of the latest technology for audiovisual recording. The document points out that sound archives have endured typical changes of preservation goals and audiovisual technology shows to be a dynamic benefit. Chaudhuri and Seeger recommend converting from analog to digital, which is now available due to the capabilities of enormous hard drive space. Common problems that ethnomusicology archivists face are storage, preservation, cataloging, and funding issues for the aforementioned. The authors propose a progressive view point to solve the problems: sending copies of field recordings back to their country of origin and establishing research and documentation centers by and for indigenous people. This proposal protects ethical and moral rights giving ownership of the collected material to the people who granted the permission for the documentation. This gives fair treatment for all people involved in a project, such as the collectors and the documented communities. Digital archives provide priceless benefits for radio collections, academic institutions, and private collections. Chaudhuri and Seeger promote the need for the
Using Multimedia 14 opportunity for archiving audiovisual collections with global perspectives for a digital future. The selection of books and journals in this section are related by complimentary disciplines: ethnomusicology, anthropology, and ethnography. Cross referencing historical events with musical events connect facts that exhibit how a culture develops its art forms. Several of these particular documents establish a musicological foundation of the Huichol culture, yet the information is limited and incomplete. Other resources express the need for change in field work documentation, display, and preservation for future study in ethnomusicology. A discussion follows on the benefits of available technological advances in digital media that assist in capturing live performances for study. Branching out from the old-fashioned to future methods of collecting, archiving, and presenting field work in the discipline of ethnomusicology generates a list of resources in the next section on multimedia. Multimedia “Hypermedia and Ethnomusicology” written by Barbara Rose Lange (2001) steers ethnomusicologists towards the use of digital media in presenting a subject. The author emphasizes the tremendous prospects developing technology offers to the field of ethnomusicology. At the same time that she praises the effects of the Internet, hypermedia and web pages, Lange comments on potential negative results in the process. The author urges the presenter to be careful to honor fieldwork methods and ethical duties; content precedes glamour. She also advises the researcher not to allow the design of presentation to interfere with “comprehending live performance” (p. 132). The article references several educational journals that publish essays online and discusses the
