- Abstract
- The main purpose with this Master's thesis has been to through a case study investigate and analyze the music library activity at the Public Library in Lund, in order to find out according to which ideas and principals this activity is run by. It also discusses how you at the music department handle your task as intermediary of music and how well this coincides with the users expectations. To give the research more depth a special analysis has been made, assuming the perspective of the B&I-researcher Sanna Taljas' three perspectives regarding the music department. She identifies three perspectives in maintaining a music library, which she calls the general education, alternative and demand repertoire.

It also discusses how you at the music department handle your task as intermediary of music and how well this coincides with the users expectations. To give the research more depth a special analysis has been made, assuming the perspective of the B&I-researcher Sanna Taljas' three perspectives regarding the music department. She identifies three perspectives in maintaining a music library, which she calls the general education, alternative and demand repertoire.
The examination is based on an empirical research, where five librarians were interviewed and fifty users have responded to a survey, but the essay also includes a literary study carried out to explore which ideas there are regarding the music department's missions and roles in the existing literature.
Librarians and the user's opinions coincide quite well. What distinguish the most are the opinions surrounding the competency of the music library. Librarians highlight the importance of a music science education and reference work, while the users do not expect this competency at all, but regard it more important that the librarians are service minded and have knowledge of music outside of the commercial market. Admittedly the librarians set ideas that could be compared to Taljas' perspectives higher than the users do, ideas that for that sense is not lacking in the users. The differences are mainly about what the users verses the librarians prioritise. (Less)
