Music Discovery Requirements document

[Nara Newcomer]

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.  You may add your comments using the blog's
commenting feature, or send them directly to Nara Newcomer,
