Discovering Music: Small-Scale, Web-Scale, Facets, and Beyond

Abstract

Web-scale discovery tools are currently transforming the interfaces libraries provide for the discovery and access of their collections. Although these tools are significantly enhancing user experiences, they are also introducing new challenges. The concurrent session "Discovering Music: Small-scale, Web-scale, Facets, and Beyond" examined one such challenge: the unique difficulties of organizing and searching for music materials (e.g., scores, sheet music, and recordings) in a web-scale environment.
