What we're working on Wednesday!
So we've missed a couple of WWW on Wednesdays...sorry about that. Lots of meetings for USC Librarians this time of year.
Anyway, this week we've been busy dubbing VHS tapes from the collection of Talmage Fauntleroy (web pages coming soon!), adding more sheet music to our Digital Sheet Music Collection (including figuring out why some pages mysteriously turned pink when uploaded), changing webpages, and answering emailed reference questions!
Did you know that the Music Librarians typically handle about three reference questions via email from patrons all over the world per day? Just this morning we had a patron looking for the sheet music to the Chiquita banana song. Fun!
Before we go, be sure to check out our Thanksgiving Holiday hours on our website.

Naxos' Opera Channel
A while back I was looking for various videos on Youtube to add to our various LibGuides. I found Naxos' jazz playlist, chock full of fantastic jazz videos. Browsing through the non-jazz videos they'd posted, I wondered why they didn't have an opera playlist-especially with the high amount of videos they had uploaded.
Being the ever-eager social media participant that I am, I tweeted to @NaxosRecords asking if they could please make an opera playlist. They're super busy folks, but they responded, and actually made this playlist!
Thanks to all the great folks at Naxos who put this together.
Once you've finished watching their videos, visit the Naxos Music Library. [This link to Naxos Music Library works for USC students, faculty, and staff only.]

Google + Music
Google's new music search brings lots of different music content from all over the web straight to you! You can search for an artist, album name, song name, or even a line of lyrics. The search results bring you an audio clip so you can make sure you're listening to the right tune. It can also introduce you to music you might like based on what you're searching for. In short, if you're familiar with Myspace, iLike, Lala, Gracenote, Pandora, imeem, or Rhapsody, you'll love this search.
So here's the actual Google music search page:
If you're really interested, TechCrunch has a great article on all the details of how this search works.
Take note: if you Google "google music search," you might come across a page that looks like this:
This is NOT the new Google music search. It is supposedly a customized version, but the results are in no way similar.
Hope you try this new resource.
Let us know if we can do anything to assist you!

What we're working on Wednesday
...2nd edition.
This Wednesday was filled with lots of emails to various members of The Southeast Chapter of the Music Library Association (SEMLA). I am chair of the Public Relations/Outreach team and the archivist. My emails were trying to track down who within SEMLA had specific information that I needed. If you live in the south and are interested in music and libraries, SEMLA's student membership is only $5!
Besides emails, I changed lots of our special collections web pages. Did you know the Music Library has nearly 300 web pages, and a majority of those are from our special collections?
