Shelflisting Music

...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. * Technicalities *
