This study compares the performances of the resource type facets and format facets in Primo and WorldCat Discovery respectively. Through looking at librarians’ perceived understanding of selected facets, the information retrieval mechanisms employed, and the search results yielded, the author reveals gaps between users’ perception and the information actually retrieved. The goals are to see how successful Primo and WorldCat Discovery are in making themselves a one-stop shop for music information, and to determine whether the resource type or format facets in these tools facilitate information discovery. The findings also prompt librarians to reflect on what can be done to enhance information discovery through the teaching of information literacy and through collaboration with information and systems providers.
本研究比较了 Primo 和 WorldCat Discovery 中资源类型面和格式面的性能。通过观察图书馆员对所选分面的感知理解、所采用的信息检索机制以及所产生的搜索结果,作者揭示了用户感知与实际检索信息之间的差距。其目的是了解 Primo 和 WorldCat Discovery 在使自己成为音乐信息一站式商店方面有多成功,并确定这些工具中的资源类型或格式面是否有助于信息发现。研究结果还促使图书馆员思考如何通过信息扫盲教学以及与信息和系统提供商合作来提高信息发现能力。

Marion Newman, Kyra Folk-Farber
While previous Spotlight columns have focused on music collections and archives in Canada through the voices of those who work with them, this interview takes a slightly different angle by focusing on the career of Mezzo Soprano Marion Newman (Nege’ga), an internationally recognized opera singer who will be joining the University of Victoria School of Music as Assistant Professor on July 1, 2024. Newman is known across Canada and worldwide for her performances of the works of living Indigenous composers. In this interview, Marion discusses navigating - and stretching the limits of - the modern world of opera while proudly bearing her identity as Kwagiulth and Sto:lo. She also reflects on the complexities of balancing Indigenous traditions with modern Western music practices, her experiences working with written, recorded, and published Indigenous-composed music when, traditionally, and the role that library collections may play in her work as a faculty member at the University of Victoria. The interviewer, Kyra Folk-Farber, is honoured to be good friends with Marion as well as former singing colleagues while they both lived in Toronto, and collaborating with Marion on this interview was, unsurprisingly, a total delight.

In 2016, Canadian musician Gord Downie released a solo concept album titled Secret Path, which dealt with the death of Chanie Wenjack, an Anishinaabe boy who passed away after escaping an Ontario residential school in the 1960s. This album came just one year after the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was published, marking a major national step in the reconciliation process. This, in combination with Downie’s terminal brain cancer diagnosis that same year, gave the album a particularly heightened prominence within Canada. This paper examines Downie’s album through the musicological framework of secondary musical witnessing, where Downie acts as a witness in defining the story of Chanie Wenjack. Through analyzing Downie’s role as a musical witness, broader questions of Indigenous allyship are explored through the colonial lens of settler witnessing. This paper aims to explore the nuances and circumstances around Secret Path to understand its historical and cultural significance in the reconciliation movement upon its release, as well as the problems with its legacy related to Indigenous allyship when judged by modern standards as a way of demonstrating how far the reconciliation movement has progressed since 2016.

An edited transcript of a roundtable presentation held on Thursday, June 9, 2022, at the Canadian Association of Music Libraries (CAML) 2022 virtual conference. Through a series of six questions chosen to fit in a one-hour format, Music Librarians from three Canadian Universities discussed their experiences with the acquisition of e-score databases. Topics include motivation for acquisition, selection criteria, marketing strategies, patron responses, resource issues, and impact on print collections. This article is offered to a broad audience of library professionals in the belief that topics discussed will be applicable to collection development in subject areas apart from music.
