Folklore Collection Enters Google Books



During the summer of 2009, IU's Folklore and Ethnomusicology Collection will be the first "Collection of Distinction" to be digitized as part of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) agreement with Google. The agreement calls for Google to scan and digitize selected titles from the collections of partnering libraries. The result will be an online discovery tool that respects the intellectual integrity of the collection and opens new opportunities for research. To learn more click on the link below:


What does this mean for the Folklore Collection?


The IU Libraries' Folklore Collection is the largest single library collection of its type in North America. The collection supports upper division undergraduate and graduate teaching, as well as PhD and faculty-level research in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. We collect works on every topic of interest to folklorists and ethnomusicologists all shelved in a single convenient location.

Indiana University's Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology is the oldest and largest PhD-granting institution in the field in North America, and is also associated with the Archives of Traditional Musicand the IU Folklore Archives.
