Scarecrow Press Music Librarianship at the Turn of the Century: Volume 27 (Music Library Association Technical Reports)

Fourteen authors explore the recent past, the present, and the future of music librarianship through an examination of topics of importance to the profession: collection development, preservation, cataloging, technology, copyright, reference, reference sources, user education, music publishing, sound recordings, the antiquarian music market, archives, and education for music librarianship. First published in the quarterly journal Notes, these essays reflect the views of today's professionals at the fin de siècle. The set of essays is framed by a foreword and afterword by editor Richard Griscom.
