About this title

Reviews

Hartsock, senior music cataloger at the University of North Texas, presents an exhaustive collection of MARC records for both musical and sound recordings. Each entry illustrates a note on MARC music records produced by the Library of Congress since the implementation of AACR2. The book is introduced by a brief review of 20th-century music cataloging efforts, with little or no philosophy or theory. A well-constructed table of contents and index will lead catalogers directly to specific areas or topics needing annotation or clarification with a 500 field. As the power and availability of keyword searching in online systems grows and develops, the need to produce accurate note fields providing additional levels of access to musical materials is becoming a primary feature of cataloging routines. This book should prove to be a valuable tool for all music catalogers. Recommended.?Rodger Smith, Charleston Cty. Lib., S.C.
