Hidden Gems: A Partnership Between the Digitization Lab and Photography Studio Art at UNT

Poster presented at the 2019 Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL-2019). This poster discusses how inter-departmental partnerships, particularly between UNT's Digital Libraries and Department of Photography and Studio Art can provide a win win collaborative environment for all parties involved. While the Digital Projects Lab can hire experienced photographers to operate and oversee its capturing system, as the same time MFA students can gain high level photography experiences in a real world project outside of the College of Visual Arts and Design which would help them diversify their skillset.

Health Problems of Clarinetists: An Epidemiologic Survey

Poster presenting results of a study that characterizes clarinet specific health problems such as site-specific pain, non-musculoskeletal issues, performance anxiety, and related variables including instrument type, use of neck-strap, educational attainment, musician identity, and other lifestyle and performance-related factors. An online survey specifically for clarinetists was developed using techniques adopted from a recent study of trombonists (interactive body maps, skip logic, etc.). In addition to clarinetists being underrepresented in previous epidemiologic research, previous studies did not consider the lower lip as being a potential pain site despite clarinet pedagogues mentioning this concern, proliferation of commercial products to help clarinetists manage lip pain, and the lip being a primary contact point between the instrument and the body. Consistent with findings from Thrasher and Chesky, clarinetists in this study also reported musculoskeletal problems in the right wrist area.
