Abstract This entry explores the major aspects of music librarianship beginning with a review of the core literature, types of music libraries, professional organizations, and music librarianship as a career. The general areas of acquisition, cataloging, classification, reference, and preservation are examined as they relate to the unique needs of music. Future challenges to the profession are summarized. DEFINITION TYPES OF MUSIC LIBRARIES Music librarianship is a specialization of librarianship that Academic Libraries involves the acquisition, cataloging, and preservation of music materials in audio, visual, print, and digital formats Academic music libraries primarily serve students, faculty, and the provision of instructional and reference services and visiting scholars.

  • Topic 2: Eligibility for Section 108 Exceptions
    April 17, 2007 Before the Section 108 Study Group And The Copyright Office Library of Congress In the Matter of Issues Relating to the Exceptions and Limitations Applicable to Libraries and Archives Under Section 108 of the Copyright Act Comments of the Music Library Association This document provides an expansion of oral comments made on behalf of the Music Library Association at the public roundtable discussion held by the Section 108 Study Group in Los Angeles, California, March 8, 2006 as well as additional comments regarding related topics not considered in that discussion. The Music Library Association is the professional association for music libraries and librarianship in the United States. It has an international membership of librarians, musicians, scholars, educators, and members of the book and music trades. The MLA’s purpose is to promote the establishment, growth, and use of music libraries; to encourage the collection of music and music literature in libraries; to increase efficiency in music library service and administration; and to promote the profession of music librarianship. Topic 1: Eligibility for Section 108 Exceptions —Definition of libraries and archives. For purposes of §108 libraries and archives should be defined based on the nature of and access to their holdings. At issue is appropriate use of materials that may be held in such collections, not who owns or administers them. A broad definition is desirable, one that does not unduly deny use of content that would otherwise be accessible or preservable simply because it was held in a different type of repository. Library or archival materials held in a museum or historical society would still be eligible under the section.

  • 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.
