The catalogs of the superior music conservatories: identification, analysis and evaluation.
Abstract
The online catalogs (OPACs) belonging to the libraries of the Superior Music Conservatories are evaluated. To achieve this goal, we begin by analyzing the scientific literature on the subject. The study population is then identified through the consultation of the Directory of Spanish Libraries, the website of the Spanish Association of Higher Schools of Artistic Teaching and the Map of Conservatories of Music of Spain recently created. For the analysis of the catalogs we opted for the creation of an ad hoc evaluation instrument defining the following parameters: Presentation, retrieval of information, export of records, bibliographic services, user attention, diffusion and social OPAC. It concludes by highlighting the main results obtained and establishing a series of proposals for improvements.Downloads
