The Music Discovery Requirements document addresses the
unique needs posed by music materials which must be considered for successful
discovery. This document discusses the issues and when possible gives concrete
recommendations for discovery interfaces. Three appendixes compile technical
details of the specific indexing recommendations in spreadsheets. The document was created under the auspices of
Music Library Association’s Emerging Technologies and Services Committee and
officially approved by the Music Library Association’s Board of Directors.
The Music Discovery Requirements document group welcomes
your comments, questions, and other feedback on the document. The group is
particularly interested in hearing how the document is being used, and in
working with vendors and developers to create discovery interfaces optimized
for the unique needs of music materials.
