As more and more music literature is published each year,
librarians, scholars, and bibliographers are turning to music
bibliography to retain control over the flood of information. Based
on the Conference of Music Bibliography, this timely book provides
vital information on the most important aspects of the scholarly
practice of music bibliography. Foundations in Music Bibliography
provides librarians with great insight into bibliographic issues
they face every day including bibliographic control of primary and
secondary sources, the emergence of enumerative and analytical
bibliography, bibliographic instruction, and bibliographic
lacunae.Foundations in Music Bibliography features the perspectives
of prominent scholars and music librarians on contemporary issues
in music bibliography often encountered by music librarians. It
offers practical insights and includes chapters on teaching
students how to use microcomputer programs to search music
bibliographies, organizing a graduate course in music bibliography,
and researching film music bibliography. The book also provides a
supplement to Steven D. Westcott 's A Comprehensive Bibliography of
Music for Film and Television. This insightful volume demonstrates
the many ways that bibliography relates music publications to each
other and endows grander meaning to individual scholarly
observations. Some of the fascinating topics covered by Foundations
in Music Bibliography include: the history of thematic catalogs
indexing Gregorian chant manuscripts general principles of
bibliographic instruction analyses of Debussy discographies musical
ephemera and their importance in various types of musicological
research bibliographical lacunae (i.e. lack of access to visual
sources, failure to control primary sources, and lack of
communication with the rest of the performing arts)Foundations in
Music Bibliography shows librarians how bibliography can be used to
help music students and researchers find the information they need
among the innumerable available sources. It is an indispensable
asset to the shelves of all music reference libraries that wish to
provide their patrons with the latest bibliographic tools.
