In The Beginning…
Due to the non-secular nature of most early musical composition, collections of music were primarily held within religious institutions such as monasteries or cathedrals. However, in post-Renaissance Europe, these collections began to be expanded within centralized library systems.
Now, music libraries exist in a myriad of different forms: as stand-alone collections, attached to institutions of higher learning, affiliated with government, corporate, and performing art organizations.

Types of Music Libraries
Academic (often research-based; Music Department of a university or college)
Conservatories (in support of schools of music)
Corporate (often music publishers, managing licensed materials)
Public (music collections within public collections [i.e. NY Public Library])

Music Cataloging
Differs according to type of music library
Standard: AARC2, MARC
MLA currently lobbying for a more appropriate set of standards for music cataloging
![Page 11: Composition of Music Libraries](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/5681316a550346895d97e2a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How to Catalog?
For music books, AACR2 and LC standards are followed.
For music recording, AACR2 is followed, with some modification to title, author, date. LC classification.
For scores, AACR2 is the general guide. However, most of the information that is necessary to create a distinctive record is put into a field that does not fit. LC classification.
