How are musical forms organised? What can we tell about a subject's classification from Tables of Contents in books? (Why is musical form so complex?!) Just published in the Journal of Information Science: doi.org/10.1177/016555… (open access!!) @UCLDIS

Plus, the course is accredited by CILIP AND the American Library Association @CILIPinfo @ALALibrary

As well as our core modules, including cataloguing and classification, & managing collections, we offer some very exciting optional modules, such as information literacy, historical bibliography, health libraries, information governance, manuscripts, knowledge organisation & more

Would you like to spend a year (or 2) contemplating libraries, users and information, plus get some great practical skills and understanding? Join us for the UCL MA/PgDip in LIS open event, Thurs 5th December, 6-7pm (GMT). Sign up: tinyurl.com/2a8sbzmr @UCLDIS

Fascinating paper about a thesaurus of form/genre headings for the Nuovo Soggettario by Michela Grossi and Roberta Schiavone at #iaml2023 , showing properly structured music genre information using thesaurus relationships! #salivating #musicclassification

Dr. @DebbieLeeCat premieres her bibliographic model on forms, genres and the likes (styles, types) after an exposé on the unclearness in dividing these categories. #iaml2023

Wonderful and fascinating paper by Jennifer Ward about the Plaine & Easie code for representing music notation, especially for incipits (tiny sections of music that represent & define a work) in @RISM_music . (Lots of connections to #musicclassification, I think!) #iaml2023
