GUEST,Greyeyes (at work) Plymouth Libraries Song Index (9) Plymouth Libraries Song Index 21 Feb 01


The text of an e-mail I received from our Music & Drama Librarian today.

"The song index is now available on Galaxy. This means that it is also available on Viewpoint terminals and world-wide via the Internet. This is something of a "first" for Plymouth, being the largest such index in any British public library catalogue on the web (as far as I know).

"The song index lists 60,000 titles in 1700 volumes which are located in Music & Drama. You can search for a song by title, keyword, phrase or index browse (title). It also means that each Galaxy entry shows the complete contents of each songbook. These books are, of course, borrowable and reservable in the normal way.

"We have already indexed the vocal music and play anthologies. The next task will be to index all our piano and organ collections."

The department doesn't specialise in folk, but has a reasonable collection in that field, particularly westcountry related. Hope this info is useful.
