The Music Library Association's Emerging Technologies and Services Committee invites your comments on the second draft of our "Music Discovery Requirements" document. This paper & appendixes explore and detail the specialized needs of music materials for discovery interfaces of all kinds. An initial draft of this document was shared via MLA-L (a distribution list for music librarians and those interested in music librarianship) in fall 2011. We have now completed a second draft, which we are publicizing more broadly.
We invite your comments, thoughts, and suggestions by March 16, 2012. The document is available at http://musicdiscoveryrequirements.blogspot.com or via the links below.
