Colleagues,

I'm pleased to announce the release of the expanded, revised 2016 edition of the document Best Practices for Using LCMPT<http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.musiclibraryassoc.org/resource/resmgr/BCC_Resources/BPsForUsingLCMPT_22022016.pdf>. Based on feedback from the community and over a year of collective experience applying LCMPT (medium of performance) terms in cataloging since the release of the vocabulary, this revision is considerably more robust than the original "provisional" version of the document.

Detailed guidance is now present for the following areas:


  *   MARC 382 subfields e and v
  *   Continuo
  *   Electronics
  *   Operas and other dramatic works
  *   Percussion
  *   Separately-manifested parts
  *   The terms "singer" and "voice"
  *   The terms "string orchestra" and "bowed string ensemble"

There are also significantly more examples in this revised version. And content has been harmonized with the parallel document Best Practices for Using LCGFT for Music Resources<http://www.musiclibraryassoc.org/resource/resmgr/BCC_Genre_Form_Task_Force/BestPractices150608.pdf>.

I would like to heartily thank the working group within the Vocabularies Subcommittee who painstakingly prepared this revision, as well as numerous other CMC members who offered feedback during the drafting process. Feedback is welcome, and will be taken under advisement for future revisions of the document; please send all comments and questions to casey at mullingroup.com<mailto:casey at mullingroup.com>.

Looking forward to seeing many of you next week!

Cheers,
Casey

"Those who need structured and granular data and the precise retrieval that results from it to carry out research and scholarship may constitute an elite minority rather than most of the people of the world (sadly), but that talented and intelligent minority is an important one for the cultural and technological advancement of humanity. It is even possible that if we did a better job of providing access to such data, we might enable the enlargement of that minority."
