Colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am very happy to announce the release of the document <i>Provisional Best Practices for Using LCMPT</i>:
<a href="http://bcc.musiclibraryassoc.org/BCC-Historical/BCC2014/ProvisionalBestPracticesforUsingLCMPT%20FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">
http://bcc.musiclibraryassoc.org/BCC-Historical/BCC2014/ProvisionalBestPracticesforUsingLCMPT%20FINAL.pdf</a><br>
<br>
These guidelines are intended to assist catalogers in the application of medium of performance terminology from the recently published
<i>Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus</i> in bibliographic records for musical resources, using MARC21 field 382. These terms are more granular and less constrained than terminology currently prescribed for use in LCSH, and their use is encouraged
in all bibliographic records where feasible. <br>
<br>
This roll-out is the first in a phased implementation that will include music genre/form terminology to be added to the
<i>Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for Library and Archival Materials</i> (LCGFT) in the coming year. For now, catalogers are advised to continue applying "subject" headings in 650 fields as prescribed by the Subject Headings Manual, but are encouraged
to add 382 fields as an enhancement, in anticipation of the fully-implemented future environment, and for the benefit of systems which may now (or soon) index these terms.
<br>
<br>
Terms from LCMPT should be designated in $2 with the code lcmpt. With <i>OCLC-MARC Bibliographic Format Update 2014, Phase 1</i>, this code has officially been authorized for use in OCLC. Note: 382s containing LCMPT terms that were added to records during the
past few months will not have a $2 with this code; accordingly, catalogers are encouraged to add it in those cases.<br>
<br>
Use of 382 fields in authority records is governed by the NACO Music Project. NMP members should consult their reviewer and/or the project coordinator for guidance.<br>
<br>
Comments and questions on these best practices are welcome, and may be directed to me (<a href="mailto:cmullin@stanford.edu" target="_blank">cmullin@stanford.edu</a>) or, better, to the collective wisdom on the MOUG-L discussion list.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

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."<o:p></o:p></span></pre>
