PROPOSALS TOWARDS THE CATALOGUING OF GRAMOPHONE RECORDS IN A LIBRARY OF NATIONAL SCOPE

PROPOSALS TOWARDS THE CATALOGUING OF GRAMOPHONE RECORDS IN A LIBRARY OF NATIONAL SCOPE The following proposals for cataloguing are based upon the practical treatment of gramophone records, arrived at by experiment, test, and revision in the only library in England that can claim to be of national scope in the sense, mutatis mutandis, in which that term can be applied to the British Museum, that is, the British Broadcasting Corporation's Gramophone Library, and the illustrations have been provided from its catalogue by courtesy of the Corporation.

Abstract

The following proposals for cataloguing are based upon the practical treatment of gramophone records, arrived at by experiment, test, and revision in the only library in England that can claim to be of national scope in the sense, mutatis mutandis, in which that term can be applied to the British Museum, that is, the British Broadcasting Corporation's Gramophone Library, and the illustrations have been provided from its catalogue by courtesy of the Corporation. Time, and a seven days a week service extended to all departments and locations of the B.B.C. have imposed a few modifications, but after ten years the general principles stand as they were evolved during the war, when demands of service were greater and more exacting than ever before, and they have been able to accommodate the greatest and most farreaching change in commercialrecord historythe invention of the slowspeed, longplaying record, which came upon the market only after the war was over.
