Resource of the Week -- Database: Sheet Music Plus

Resource of the Week -- Database: Sheet Music Plus
By Gary Price and Shirl Kennedy, Editors

Gary posted this item earlier in the week and, judging by the attention it received, we thought it was worth reprising it as a Resource of the Week. Among other things, we think it could be a very useful reference desk tool.

From a San Francisco Business Times article:

One of the company’s secrets is the sheer volume of music they offer — more than 555,000 titles. The company’s added about 100,000 titles in the last 18 months, plus they’ve collected data on all of their titles, and created a searchable database of printed music. That helps the company when its trying to move into new markets, such as music teachers. In fact, Sheet Music Plus signed up 17,000 music teachers for a rebate program.

David Jahnke is vice president of national sales at Hal Leonard, a music publisher that has 140,000 titles at the Sheet Music Plus store. He says that Hal Leonard is the exclusive print provider of Disney, EMI, Universal and Rogers and Hammerstein, to name a few, so if people want sheet music from any of those sources they have to buy Hal Leonard.
...
Jahnke also finds Sheet Music Plus' comprehensive database useful because it’s made for everyone’s catalogue. When he goes to a music store, he often sees the employees looking on Sheet Music Plus to figure out who publishes what.

+ Use the advanced search interface to search for sheet music.
+ On the home page, you can browse by artists and composers.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
