Excerpt from Music and Libraries: Selected Papers of the Music Library Association, Presented at Its 1942 Meeting Libraries of music are not new. For hundreds of years lovers of the art have assiduously collected manuscripts and books and scores which represented those manifestations that most appealed to them. Catalogs of musical collections are numerous, and bibliographic dis eussions of important musical imprints are far from uncommon. Nevertheless, the incorporation of music into the realm of active American librarianship is an achievement of the past generation or so. The very fact of this accomplishment naturally opens up untold problems and possibilities for librarians who, with music teachers and musicologists and will materially influence Amer ican musical culture in the years to come. This modest collection of essays can scarcely claim to be more than a short step toward affect ing that culture, but its appearance is surely an affirmation of music's increasing importance in the American library. The Music Library Association is happy to produce a volume' which is truly unprecedented in library literature. It is even happier to have secured the collaboration of the American Library Associa tion, the parent of all library organizations. A bright hope exists that these two societies will bring music new benefits through the affection of art-devoted librarians. Edward N. Waters President, Music Library Association. February 23, 1943.

Money for the Asking explores the basics of fundraising for music library professionals. Music libraries face many challenges today, including shrinking budgets. Fundraising is one way to increase a library’s resources, but few books address fundraising opportunities specifically for music libraries. In this concise volume Peter Munstedt provides practical advice for music librarians who want to initiate fundraising. Based on his depth of experience, the author explains the importance of promoting a library’s needs, which can be critical in establishing fundraising efforts. Working with individual donors is essential for any fundraising program. The book differentiates four essential steps that development professionals employ when working with donors, including identification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship. There is also an explanation of the various types of donations, such as gifts in kind, monetary gifts, endowments, and planned giving. Obtaining resources through grants is another significant aspect of fundraising. The book covers corporation, foundation, and government grants within the context of music libraries. Other methods of raising money are also described, including several kinds of fundraising events, such as benefit concerts, book sales, as well as other public and private events. While encouraging music libraries to pursue fundraising, the author also cautions about several subtle issues that consist of hidden costs, internal politics, and ethical concerns. This book reveals principles in the professional development world as seen through the eyes of a music librarian. The author explains real-life experiences in a music library setting, including case studies from his library. Also provided are examples of fundraising web pages from various other music libraries. The book reveals the positive effects and actual benefits that fundraising can bring to a music library. Money really is there for the asking.
