Book Description
In Directions in Music Cataloging, ten of the field’s top theoreticians and practitioners address the issues that are affecting the discovery and use of music in libraries today. Anyone who uses music in a library—be it a teacher, researcher, student, or casual amateur—relies on the work of music catalogers, and because these catalogers work with printed and recorded materials in a wide variety of formats, they have driven many innovations in providing access to library materials. As technology continues to transform the discovery and use of music, they are exploring ways to describe and provide access to music resources in a digital age. It is a time of flux in the field of music cataloging, and never has so much change come so quickly. The roots of today’s issues lie in the past, and the first part of the volume opens with two articles by Richard P. Smiraglia that establish the context of modern music cataloging through research conducted in the early 1980s. The second part explores cataloging theory in its current state of transition, and the concluding part looks to the future by considering the application of emerging standards. The volume closes with a remembrance of A. Ralph Papakhian (1948–2010), the most prominent music cataloger of the past thirty years—a figure who initiated many of the developments covered in the volume and who served as a teacher and mentor for all of the contributors.

Book Description
Music catalogers have long considered the Music Cataloging Bulletin an indispensable tool. With this 10-year cumulative index and supplement, catalogers have a convenient, extensive subject index and a practical way to review changes to the classification schedules and subject headings made during the 1990s. This publication comprises the fifth cumulative index and supplement to the Music Cataloging Bulletin (MCB), a monthly publication of the Music Library Association. It covers the information contained in volumes 21-30 (1990-1999) and is in five sections, mirroring the organization of information in the Bulletin. The subject index section expands on the annual indexes to include entries for all names, committees, task forces, and publications, as well as cataloging and MARC tagging changes mentioned in the monthly issues, including the two years where no annual index was issued (1994 and 1999). The index identifies acronyms and abbreviations and places entries in their organizational hierarchy when appropriate. In the section containing the Library of Congress Classification additions and changes, each entry appears in its complete hierarchical context. A separate section covers additions, changes and cancellations to music-related Library of Congress Subject Headings, as reported in these issues of MCB. This section includes cross-references from a cancelled heading to its replacement. Additional sections include a list of all new reference work titles added to the Library of Congress' Music Section during this time period, and a compilation of changes or additions to thematic indexes used in formulating uniform titles for music, as reported by the Library of Congress.

American Music Librarianship

File Size : 18,99 MB
Release : 2013-09-13
Category : Music
ISBN : 1135476470
Book Description
The literature of American music librarianship has been around since the 19th century when public libraries began to keep records of player-piano concerts, significant donations of books and music, and suggestions for housing music. As the 20th century began, American periodicals printed more and more articles on increasingly specialized topics within music studies. Eventually books were developed to aid the music librarian; their publication has continued over the course of nearly a century. This book reflects the great diversity of the literature of music librarianship. The main resources included are items of historical interest, descriptions of individual collections, catalogues of collections, articles describing specific library functions, record-related subjects, bibliographies designed for music library use, literature from Canada and Britain when relevant to U.S. library practices, key discographies, and information on specialized music research. The material is ordered by topic and indexed by author, subject, and library name.
