  • Music Library-Special Collections Graduate Services Assistant
    Music Library-Special Collections Graduate Services Assistant Number of positions available: 1 About the Program The UNT Libraries offer full-time graduate students professional experience through their Graduate Services Assistantships and Research Assistantships (https://www.library.unt.edu/jobs/gla-gra). These positions provide tuition benefit program hours and are benefits eligible during the fall/spring semester, but summer positions are paid hourly with limited benefits eligibility. For grant-funded assistantships, benefits vary according to the grant. See full details here. (https://www.library.unt.edu/jobs/gla-gra) Department Overview The Music Library supports the scholarly and performance research needs of the College of Music by collecting and preserving monographs, reference works, periodicals, printed music and sound recording formats, as well as subscribing to electronic databases for research and streaming music. Special collections are a particular strength of the Music Library’s holdings, emphasizing the many genres classified under Western art music and jazz, but also popular music and various sub-genres. Ten full-time staff and around 30 student assistants also provide reference and access services, ensuring that the College of Music and all outside researchers are able to locate and access music materials. Position Description The GSA will perform various duties in support of the Music Special Collections unit. Most work will relate to the Music Library’s processing and preservation of music special collections. Direct supervision will be by the Music Special Collections librarian. The GSA in this area will also assist at the Music Library Service desk as needed. Any member of the Music Library full-time staff may assign other projects.

  • 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.

This was accomplished on a number of fronts: by processing and creating online finding aids for special collections; by creating new and improved existing bibliographic records; by digitizing items from collections and putting them online; and by publicizing the collections through the Performing Arts Encyclopedia, public programs, orientations, professional meetings, and social media. We 1 made significant progress on the Collections Analysis Project, which will result in improved physical and intellectual control over all of Music’s holdings.

  • Written Comments Responding to Section 108 Study Group: Copyright Exceptions for Libraries and Archives (Federal Register 71:232 (4 Dec
    Music Library Association Written Comments responding to Section 108 Study Group: Copyright Exceptions for Libraries and Archives (Federal Register 71:232 (4 Dec. 2006) pp.70434-70440) Submitted by Eric Harbeson ([email protected]) on behalf of the Music Library Association Legislation Committee: Gordon Theil (Chair), Mary Wallace Davidson, Eric Harbeson, Jon Haupt, Jerry McBride, Wendy Sistrunk Contact: Gordon Theil, UCLA Music Library 1102 Schoenberg Music Building Box 951490 Los Angeles, CA 90095-1490 Tel: (310) 206-8895 [email protected] The Music Library Association (MLA) respectfully submits the following comments with regard to the request for public comment issued in the Federal Register, 4 December 2006. The MLA was founded in 1931 and is a professional organization devoted to music librarianship and all aspects of music materials. Our membership includes librarians, composers, scholars, vendors and others interested in music and librarianship. The chief hope of the MLA is that the Section 108 Study Group will recommend the removal of §108(i), which excludes musical works, pictorial, graphic and sculptural works, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works from the exemptions granted in prior subsections, as discussed in Topic B. Our interests in Topic A depend on the decisions made in Topic B, therefore our comments in Topic A reflect the assumption that the exclusion of non-textual works is discontinued.
