An index to the contents of 621 song books published between 1854
and 1992 and acquired by the State Library of Louisiana, Song
Finder provides access to 32,000 songs, with emphasis on
collections of theater songs, folk songs, children's songs,
religious music, rock, country, and pop music standards. Also well
represented are African-American music, movie and television theme
songs, seasonal music, patriotic songs, military music, and songs
of foreign lands. Three-fourths of the song books have never been
indexed, and 85 percent are not included in any index currently in
print. A third of the individual songs have never been indexed
before. Songs can be located in Song Finder by title only. Under
each title are letter symbols representing song books which include
the song. Bibliographical information on the song books can be
found in the first section of the book, the list of collections
indexed, which also provides OCLC numbers to facilitate
interlibrary loan. For each printing of a song, Song Finder notes
whether the book provides music only, words only, or both words and
music. The index also identifies lyrics in a foreign language and
whether there is an English translation. Other indexes do not offer
this kind of detail, which allows users to find the version of a
song that is suitable to their needs. Also helpful to the user are
cross references which link alternate titles and compensate for
variant and nonstandard spellings. Users uncertain of the title of
an advertising jingle, or the theme song of a film or television
show, will find cross references from the name of the product or
show to the correct song title.
