We hope you’ll find these newly-available terms useful in your day-to-day cataloging.
In other news, SACO proposals for LCMPT terms and music LCGFT are now being accepted. SACO catalogers may submit proposals their existing mechanism, but are encouraged to submit proposals through the SACO Music Funnel (coordinated by Nancy Lorimer, nlorimer@stanford.edu) for expert guidance. Catalogers at institutions that are not established SACO contributors may also submit proposals through the SACO Music Funnel.
Wishing you a musical 2018!
