Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of a library collection is
an essential component in the collection management process.
Collection Assessment in Music Libraries is a compilation of papers
that present an overview of current approaches to and concerns
about collection assessment for music libraries. This report should
be part of the working collection available to all music librarians
and collection management officers. Edited and introduced by Jane
Gottlieb, the book contains articles by Peggy Daub ("The RLG
Conspectus: Its History and Applications"), Elizabeth Davis
("Guidelines of Evaluating Music Collections as Part of a Regional
Assessment Plan"), Sherry Vellucci ("Technology for Collection
Evaluation: Amigos and Other Tools"), and Lenore Coral ("Evaluating
the Conspectus Approach: Problems and Alternatives"). An extensive
bibliography is included. Understanding and utilization of the
methodologies available to evaluate music collections will better
insure that libraries fulfill their mission of meeting users'
needs.
Tackles the difficult problem of preservation of music in all of
its formats--scores, parts, and all types of recordings.
Emphasizing group dynamics, The Musical Woman series charts the
accomplishments of women in the field of music in almost every
capacity. Moving beyond the exception, articles highlight the group
presence of musical women. The series equally commits itself to
highlighting creative individuals, surveying particular music
specialties, and to providing an up-to-date profile of women's ever
changing progress in this field. Covering the period from 1986 to
1990, Volume III includes an expanded Gazette and 19 new,
thought-provoking essays. Sizable attention is given to women's
international contributions in music: several essays are centered
in Finland, the USSR, Canada, and Australia. Volume III also covers
issues linking music with sociology, history, feminist theory, and
world music. The expanded Gazette is encompassed in Part I of this
volume. Part II includes the 19 original essays. Several summarize
women's contributions as composers on the podium, within the
recording and film industries, and in other capacities. One essay
provides a current checklist of women in music organizations. Two
genre surveys and an essay on women music scholars in Russian and
Soviet history present readers with significant research. Critical
appraisals are given of three women of achievement. For the first
time in this series, two essays discuss the science of music--women
musicologists and music librarians. Another essay presents the
novel concept of a middle school curriculum concentrating on music
by women composers. An essential article to this series is an
analytic survey of how women have fared in music competitions over
a 22-year period. This volume concludes with an essay documenting
women musicians, across several generations, within notable musical
families.
