Composers of Color in our Libraries: A Study of Composers of Color included in Rob Deemer's Composer Diversity Database and how they are represented in WorldCat
Michael Duffy will present a study of composers listed in a crowdsourced database of composers of color coordinated by composer Rob Deemer, identifying the corresponding Library of Congress name headings as applicable, and noting how many bibliographic records for scores are listed, and how many libraries hold the most widely-held score upon searching their names in WorldCat.
