The OCLC Music Toolkit installer has been updated and is now available for download at http://files.library.northwestern.edu/public/Music382/. With this update, 650, 655 and 382 mappings are current through 2022, and work will soon begin on 2023 additions.   

Music Toolkit users are encouraged to report questions, suggestions, or unexpected Toolkit behavior using the form at https://goo.gl/forms/P0rbGQfxaGIMtrba2. Your feedback is monitored by the CMC Vocabularies Subcommittee and relayed to programmer Gary Strawn who incorporates changes and additions into the programming and OCLC macro.

About the Music Toolkit: The Music Toolkit, developed by Gary Strawn based on specifications provided by the CMC Vocabularies Subcommittee, analyzes bibliographic data and generates corresponding faceted terms from the Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus (LCMPT), Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT), and Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT), as well as other faceted metadata such as dates and geographic place names. The Toolkit output is then evaluated and adjusted as necessary by the cataloger, who is responsible for correct application of LC faceted terms and their corresponding MARC fields and, if desired, OCLC WorldCat master record replacement.
