".the title is recommended as a key tool for music collections using LC classification.this new version is really a bargain that music cataloging practitioners will rely on constantly." -- Library Journal "Now that it is newly re-issued, it is certain to replace the dog-eared copies of the first edition, not to mention the tattered homemade cheat sheets, found in music cataloguing departments everywhere. It is a how-to manual whose only aim is to provide cataloguers with a carefully distilled summary of the various instructions for creating music score call numbers. In this it succeeds admirably. I expect this publication will remain in print for some time." --Alastair Boyd, University of Toronto, CAML Review "An excellent overview of the topic.
Brief and to the point.an easy-to-read and well-organized manner. A useful reference tool for all catalogers." --G. Dale Vargason, Notes: Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association "An indispensible supplement for those libraries classifying music under Library of Congress principles.Another useful tool in helping the music cataloger to most efficiently and effectively classify music materials belonging in the M schedule." -- Technical Services Quarterly "Overall, the book offers a thorough look at the shelflisting process. Shelflisting Music is an essential volume for those dealing with the cataloging and classification of music materials, as well as library school students desiring a specialized investigation of the shelflisting process for music materials.
