The acquisition and cataloging of music and sound recordings Book

Includes terms used in both current and earlier Library of Congress practice, as well as words and abbreviations commonly found on title pages of scores, on labels and containers of sound recordings, and in bibliographic and descriptive sources used in the acquisition and cataloging of these materials. In all, the glossary defines and cross references almost 600 English and foreign words and abbreviations, few of which are found in standard music dictionaries or explained in cataloging manuals.
