Abstract
In Fall 2016, the University of Iowa’s School of Music launched a new thesis path for students pursing the Doctorate of Musical Arts - the recording project. Students are required to produce a 55-75 minute master recording and substantive liner notes, which is then reviewed under the same basic procedures as a classic dissertation document. Typically, completed theses are submitted to the Graduate College via ProQuest and placed in the institutional repository as open access documents. However, the recording project is designed so that the student could market the content after graduation and record works in copyright, which meant that the usual open access policy and submission of files directly to ProQuest would not be appropriate. A group of faculty and administrators in the School, the administrators and staff in the Graduate College, and several librarians from the University Libraries tackled these challenges, resulting the creation of a workflow that would be legal and sustainable, while fostering student learning and creativity. This chapter will unpack the discussions had and compromises reached during the formation of the recording thesis, examine the efficacy of the established workflow and the role that student/faculty education and outreach play in sustainability and growth, and pose questions about similar projects in other disciplines such as Theatre Arts, Dance, and English.
