Abstract

Because sets of music are not held by the British Library Document Supply Centre they can only be borrowed from other libraries by direct application to the library which holds a particular set. This is by no means as straightforward as locating and handling other material so the United Kingdom Branch of the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML:UK) decided that there was a real need for a guide to help library staff (including those with no specialist musical knowledge) to obtain and supply sets of vocal music to their users as efficiently and effectively as possible. This guide, prepared by a team of specialist music librarians from public and academic libraries, has now been published as Sets of Vocal Music. A Librarian's Guide to Interlending Practice, Malcolm Lewis (Ed.), ISBN 0 9502339 6 X, at £7.50 and is available from the Music Section, British Library Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa, Wetherby, Yorkshire LS23 7BQ. Note that it is not a British Library publication and cheques should be made out to IAML.
