  • An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 435 403 IR 057 553 AUTHOR Halliday, Blane TITLE An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library. PUB DATE 1999-05-00 NOTE 94p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. Information Science. Appendices may not reproduce adequately. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.

Wang 00:00:08 Morgan Host And I’m Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Rhodes 00:00:10 Oliver Host Every episode, we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock: an album that just burns eternally. And today, we have something for the blunted as we dive back to 1991, to talk about the debut, self-titled album by Cypress Hill. 00:00:27 Music Music “Break It Up” from the album Cypress Hill by the band Cypress Hill. Light, multilayered rap. Break it up, Cypress Hill, break it up Cypress, break it up, Cypress Hill Cypress Hill! Break it up Cypress Hill, break it up Cypress, break it up Cypress Hill Cypress Hill! Break it up Cypress Hill, break it up Cypress, break it up Cypress Hill Cypress Hill! [Music continues under the dialogue briefly, then fades out.] 00:00:39 Oliver Host The first time I ever saw Cypress Hill was at my very first hip-hop show, in San Francisco in ’91. Cypress, however, were not the headliners. That would have been the trio of 3rd Bass, then touring behind their radio single, “Pop Goes the Weasel”. Cypress Hill was the opening act, with only a slow-burn B-side, “How I Could Just Kill a Man”, to their name at the time. Of course, a few years later and this would all change.
