  • The Roles of Academic Libraries in Shaping Music Publishing in the Digital Age
    The Roles of Academic Libraries in Shaping Music Publishing in the Digital Age Kimmy Szeto Abstract Libraries are positioned at the nexus of creative production, music publishing, performance, and research. The academic library com- munity has the potential to play an influential leadership role in shaping the music publishing life cycle, making scores more readily discoverable and accessible, and establishing itself as a force that empowers a wide range of creativity and scholarship. Yet the music publishing industry has been slow to capitalize on the digital market, and academic libraries have been slow to integrate electronic music scores into their collections. In this paper, I will discuss the historical, technical, and human factors that have contributed to this moment, and the critical next steps the academic library community can take in response to the booming digital music publishing market to make a lasting impact through setting technological standards and best practices, developing education in these technologies and related intellectual property issues, and becoming an active partner in digital music publishing and in innovative research and creative possibilities. Introduction Academic libraries have been slow to integrate electronic music scores into their collections even though electronic resources are considered integral to library services. The Association of College and Research Libraries con- siders electronic resources integral to information literacy, access to re- search, and collection policies in academic libraries (ACRL 2006a, 2006b). Collection development surveys conducted by the National Center for Educational Statistics indicate electronic books, database subscriptions, and electronic reference materials constitute roughly half the materials LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol. 67, No. 2, 2018 (“The Role and Impact of Commercial and Noncom- mercial Publishers in Scholarly Publishing on Academic Libraries,” edited by Lewis G.

Music sources are most commonly shared in music scores scanned or printed on paper sheets. These artifacts are rich in information, but since they are images it is hard to re-use and share their content in todays’ digital world. There are modern languages that can be used to transcribe music sheets, this is still a time consuming task, because of the complexity involved in the process and the typical huge size of the original documents. WIKI::SCORE is a collaborative environment where several people work together to transcribe music sheets to a shared medium, using the notation. This eases the process of transcribing huge documents, and stores the document in a well known notation, that can be used later on to publish the whole content in several formats, such as a PDF document, images or audio files for example.
