  1. 780 Music Dewey Breakfast/Update ALA Midwinter Meeting January 24, 2009

  2. Difficulties • Complex citation order, implemented through a class-with-the-last policy • Not all cultures recognize distinction between folk and popular music • Evolution of music styles muddies everything!

  3. Solution strategy 1 • Reinforce class-with-the last policy • Add notes and built numbers to show that policy applies to all traditions of music • Adopt class-with-the-last policy not only at broadest level, but also at specific levels

  4. Solution strategy 1—cont. Add built number entries for popular music songs, e.g.: 782.421 66 Rock (Rock ‘n’ roll) songs Number built according to instructions under 782.1–782.4 Class comprehensive works on rock music in 781.66; class comprehensive works on western popular songs in 782.42164

  5. Solution strategy 2 • Give clearer, more intuitive characterization of folk music • If music matches this characterization, it should be treated in 781.62 Folk music

  6. Solution strategy 2—cont. Current characterization of folk music 781.62 Folk music  Music indigenous to the cultural group in which it occurs, usually evolved through aural transmission Proposed characterization of folk music 781.62 Folk music  Music originating within and associated with an ethnic or national group

  7. Solution strategy 3a • Keep schedule development relatively shallow, but index more deeply

  8. Solution strategy 3a—cont. Current entry 781.66 Rock (Rock ‘n’ roll) Including acid, folk, hard, punk, soft rock Proposed entry 781.66 Rock (Rock ‘n’ roll) Class here specific rock styles . . .

  9. Solution strategy 3a—cont. Relative Index entries at 781.66 to include:

  10. Solution strategy 3b • Use class-with-the-last policy for hybrid styles; use 17 to add second style; add Manual note section for hybrid styles

  11. Solution strategy 3b—cont. In add table under 781.63—781.69: 17 Hybrid styles Fusion of two or more styles from different traditions of music to create a new style Add to 17 the numbers following 781.6 in 781.62–781.69, e.g., fusion with folk music 172, folk rock 781.66172 See Manual at 781.6: Hybrid styles . . .
