Pendragon Press,  April 2005 (Picture of  F. Triebert, 1855 from Triebert Catalog.)
Paper to be given August 8, 2003, Galpin Society Conference - http://www.music.ed.ac.uk/euchmi/galpin/gxkta.html

Abstract: Frédéric Triebert was the dominant figure in oboe making in France for almost 40 years, 1842-1878; the oboe he designed and manufactured defines the modern oboe.  This paper presents newly found documents from the Archives Nationales (Minutier Central, AJ 13-Opéra, and AJ 37-Conservatoire) and Archives de Paris which reveal for the first time in great detail the Triebert instrument enterprise and workshop, his German origins and family ties with prominent French makers.  They shed new light on his family relationships and unconventional personal life as inseparable from his musical life while inscribing a social milieu defined by friends, customers, marriage, his mistress-reed maker, business partnerships and successors.   His protégé, François Laurée, established the Laurée firm and maker's mark which is found today on oboes played by professionals world-wide.  Instruments by Triebert are today cherished possessions of museums, collectors and performers.  Their diverse key systems display his remarkable ingenuity for design, also evident in his patents.  He developed the modern oboe as not only an instrument of immense technical capabilities, but also as one which succeeds equally in capturing the oboe's Gallic authenticity and characteristic orchestral sound.

"Comparing Information Seeking Behavior in real and Virtual Environments." 
Published in Proceedings of the Information Today, 2002 Conference, New York.
Abstract: As online resources expand in scope and depth, most researchers, whether in the humanities, social sciences, science or business, begin research online.  Important differences between online resources accessible in real and virtual environments challenge users to develop new strategies for finding information.  As a result, information seeking behavior (ISB) is being transformed to accommodate a new research landscape.  The study presented here attempts to measure quantitatively and qualitatively the ways in which a user's online search strategies and outcomes are impacted by differences in information environments, and is designed to compare a user's ISB in the real (library) and virtual (home or work).  As libraries plan for the future and reconfigure information services to best accommodate users, understanding how users connect and integrate print and digital resources in both real and virtual environments will be crucial to creating new and workable research environments. 

"Virtual Libraries on the Web, Dream or Reality? Studying the Impact of Information Architecture on Users in Real and Virtual Environments."  Conference Proceedings, National Online Conference, New York, May 2001.
This article looks at information architecture in the context of libraries and library users for the purpose of measuring quantitatively and qualitatively the impact of information architecture (IA) on user outcomes in terms of information retrieved as well as environmental factors that effect user experience. User's interactions with IA through a virtual library on the Web are measured against user interactions with IA in a real library, where the user's initial information needs are defined in the same manner for both settings. The tension between real and virtual library environments creates a dynamic connection that defines a sense of place for users who move through time and space from one to the other.

Great Flute makers of France, the Lot and Godfroy Families (1650-1900).  London: Tony Bingham, 1993. (pp.245, 98 plates). 
A comprehensive corpus of new information documenting the history and work of the two most important families of French flute makers. This profusely illustrated book, based on primary source material, makes a major contribution to our understanding of the social and musical contexts in which the French woodwind instrument makers worked.  Detailed findings on related l8th-century makers including Naust, Delerablé, Pelletier and Cornet are given here for the first time. New information is presented concerning the relationships of Louis Lot, Vincent Hypolite Godfroy and Theobald Boehm in the development of the modem flute.

WORK IN PROGRESS: 

The Flute in France, 1620-1860, New Documents and Perspectives. Forthcoming,  Scarecrow Press for publication, 2003. 
Archival and special collections research using newly found documentation that brings to light the history and artistic achievement of French woodwind makers, players and composers utilizing methodologies of social and cultural studies, and integrating a wide range of materials (textural documents, 18th century music prints theoretical works and iconography, musical instruments, painting and sculpture). 

Virtual User Services in Real Libraries.  This research explores how libraries are integrating online, digital and electronic services within the traditional library setting.  Significantly, understanding and dealing with the issues involved in bridging the real and the virtual, is at the heart of how successful libraries will be in meeting user needs in the 21st. century.  This research studies a group of libraries in the New York area looking at and evaluating their current applications and configuration of virtual service against potential use, and in light of the rapid advances in technology in areas such as wireless, digital reference, handhelds, and embedded technology.  This  research project incorporates the participation of about 50 Pratt-SILS students.
