Dear AMS-Announce Subscribers:

  The current update of DDM-Online has now been completed and is available for your use at  <<http://www.chmtl.indiana.edu/ddm/>http://www.chmtl.indiana.edu/ddm/>. This update includes seventy-seven new or revised records (received as of 3 November 2009) and brings the total size of the database to 14,103 records.

  We continue to rely on each of you as individual authors to register your dissertation topics with us as you begin work and then to register the dissertations themselves anew as they are completed. Online registration is available through a link on the DDM-Online home page, but we are always glad to send our conventional registration postcard upon request.

  Please check your record in DDM-Online, and if it needs updating from a topic to a completed dissertation (or if it is not present at all), please do register your work with us.

  In addition, we always appreciate hearing from individuals who can supply information on musicologically related dissertations that have not been registered with DDM-Online for one reason or another.

  Finally, we would be very grateful if dissertation advisors and Directors of Graduate Study would periodically review the in-progress sections of DDM-Online and notify us of any projects they know to have been abandoned (or completed). Quite naturally, authors sometimes neglect to notify us if they withdraw from a program, and in the absence of specific notice from an author or advisor, it is nearly impossible to identify an abandoned project, especially since some dissertations are indeed "in progress" for many years.

  With continuing appreciation for your cooperation and assistance,
     Sincerely yours,
        Peter Slemon
        Interim Director
