Beuton, Rita. Ed. RISM Directory of Music Research Libraries. Part III: Spain, France, Italy, Portugal. Iowa City: The University of Iowa, 1972.
-
A directory intended primarily for use with RISM series A and B. This directory provides further information to researchers about a library holding a particular work.
-
This book is a directory of libraries in Spain, France, Italy, Portugal with musical research sections that were active between 1966-1972.
-
The introduction explains the methods used to create this directory. After the introduction is a brief bibliography citing other books dealing with libraries. Next is an extensive list of literature cited in abbreviated form, and other abbreviations used by this volume. The major part of this book is the directory itself which is organized first by country, then alphabetically by city, and finally alphabetically by the name of the institution. The directory includes 119 entries from Spain, 180 from France, 439 from Italy, and 45 from Portugal. At the end of the directory there is an index to the libraries which includes former names, collections, special holdings, donors, etc. The index refers to entries by entry number and not by page number. It provides the name, address, collections, special equipment (microfilm, microfiche), reproductions of material (microfilm, photo copies, Xerox), catalogues available, published catalogues, other published literature about the institution or its holdings, number of musical titles or volumes in the collection, if special permission is required for access, the hours and days of operation, and a brief description of the institution for each library.
-
The information for each institution was provided by workers at the institution reflecting that the information is likely accurate.
-
The information is accurate up to the publication date of 1972. The information was provided as a response to questionnaire sent to each institution. As a result, information about each institution varies according to each individuals interpretation of the questionnaire. Therefore, there exists discrepancies about the hours and days of operation, general terminology used, and even the naming of the institution (several institutions have an official name and a traditional name). 250 of the libraries listed in the directory appear despite the fact that no questionnaire was received from it.
