And so there closes only To those who think of him principally as a part of the career of one of the figures of the librarian of a great university, Dr. Kinkeldey's contribution to musical scholar- ship may to some extent be unknown. He studied in Berlin at a time of great activity in historical and scientific studies in music and in the company of a brilliant generation of German scholars. In that company, even though a foreigner, he won an immediate place with his dissertation Orgel und Klavier in der Musik des 16. Jahrhunderts, which, published in fuller form in 1910, established and main- tained for him an international reputation. It opened up a new area of music history and is still the standard work on its subject. Like all his later writings, it is characterized by meticulous scholarship and artistic sensibility and is grounded in broad learning. Dr. Kinkeldey's career spans the period of the origin and growth of research work in music in this country and its gradual admis- sion to the realm of scholarship. With Oscar Sonneck and one or two others, he was a Otto Kinkeldey leader and a personification of this develop- ment. Uniting in himself the best elements of whom the world of learning in America can be the culture of America and of Europe, he was most proud. able to give the European tradition of musical Born in New York on Nov. 27, 1878, Dr. scholarship a native place in our intellectual Kinkeldey studied at the College of the City life.

  • 1 Core Competencies for Music Librarians and Music Library
    Core Competencies for Music Librarians and Music Library Professionals Prepared by the Music Library Association Core Competencies for Music Librarians and Music Library Professionals Task Force The Core Competencies for Music Librarians and Music Library Professionals specify a set of broad skills and knowledge necessary for the successful performance of the many duties and responsibilities inherent in a wide variety of possible professional appointments. The list is neither comprehensive nor intended as a realistic description of what a single individual can reasonably accomplish during the span of their career. Instead, it describes the work of a network of individuals engaged in the practice of music librarianship. While like the previous competencies documents, the list represents a guide for emerging and current music librarians and professionals, music librarian educators and employers, in an effort to provide a direction in future career development, the current document also distinguishes between basic and expert competencies. The competencies are organized into eight areas. The order was not intended as an indicator of their relative importance. In preparation for this work, the Task Force conducted extensive literature review, analyzed current music librarianship course syllabi, surveyed MLA membership and examined core competencies of comparable organizations and the American Library Association. The Task Force presented research results and preliminary thoughts concerning competencies to the MLA membership at its annual meeting in February 2017. After incorporating membership feedback, the Task Force produced a draft, which was presented to the MLA Board for comment. The resulting draft was posted for public comment. The current document incorporates many of those recommendations.

  • The Role of the Music Specialist Librarian
    The Role of the Music Specialist Librarian A study submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Librarianship at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by VANESSA FUIDGE September 2010 1 Structured Abstract Background The literature reveals that music is an appreciated art form, yet it is not given the place and status it deserves in libraries. Music is often regarded as unimportant and therefore, specialist staff are no longer the first choice of employment. Aims This investigation aims to identify specialist and non-specialist staff working in public libraries and determine how they differ in their handling of music materials and enquires. It also investigates the value of a music specialist librarian and any skills that could be passed onto non-specialist staff. Methods Ten libraries were contacted for interview, with a total of twenty librarians being interviewed. A questionnaire was sent out the IAML (UK & Irl) mailing list and received sixteen responses from librarians working in a professional capacity. A review of the literature was also carried out. Results The results are presented a question at a time, with three pie charts to show visually some of the questionnaire responses. Eleven specialists and nine non-music specialists were interviewed. More than half of them indicated that they struggled with enquiries and seven declared that there were cut backs in funding for their libraries. Analysis showed that training in music is needed to work with the collection and that this can be obtained in a variety of ways. Conclusion Teamwork between specialists and non-specialists was found to be the best and most workable solution for the future.
