Updates

• Brown (Steve) – has met with some of the library staff with regards to representing music activities from faculty CVs – appears to be no central vocabulary available through MARC or other standards, where the focus is on documents or recordings rather than musical activities themselves. Some key differences such as the differences between an original score and an arrangement appear not to be captured, but the libraries feel an effort to capture information on collaborations, venues, and performances is worthwhile and important to the faculty involved. Some information may be included in a description field but without explicit relationship to another work. The discouraging aspect is that this is a very complicated set of data.
