= = = = = = =
As librarians in the Loeb Music Library at Harvard University, we seek opportunities to collect contemporary composers’ creations to facilitate discovery within a library context and to develop library collections for future research. We wish to gain insight into how libraries can assist the discovery, collection, and access to contemporary music scores. */Even if you haven’t thought about libraries collecting your work, this survey is for you./*
We hope that by being more informed about current compositional practice, we will enable a dialog between composers and librarians. The results of this survey could illuminate opportunities we have to initiate discussion and encourage representation of composers’ works in libraries. This benefits you by increasing the discoverability of your works and to researchers by enabling additional access to your output.
This survey should take no more than 3-5 minutes to complete and can be found at the link below. During the survey you will be asked to share information about the format, distribution, and access to your works.*It will be available until April 1, 2019.*
Surveying composers: Methods of distribution, discoverability, and accessibility of their works and the corresponding impact on library collections. <https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_798dMVqK0ct4TvD>
