Music Librarianship
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2020
Extract
In offering the subject of Musical Librarianship to you this afternoon I have had to decide which of its several aspects I should attempt to describe, for there are several kinds of music librarians, with somewhat differing functions. The librarian of the Music Room of a great national library, such as the British Museum or the Vienna Hofbibliothek, will manage his collections differently from the librarians of private collections or teaching institutions, whose jobs again will bear only passing likeness to the librarian of an established orchestra or light music unit, while an assistant running the music and gramophone sections of a municipal or county library may scarcely be on nodding terms with any of these. There is ample matter to fill my time in describing my own job of servicing the materials of music for radio, but I have no wish to exacerbate your nerves with an essay on “a day at the B.B.C.”
