“…Even at this early stage, Naxos had begun talking about providing MARC records via OCLC, which it did beginning in 2005. 69 One reviewer touted NML's prices as being lower than those of Classical Music Library. 70 Both services promoted a per-simultaneous-user pricing scheme, which for NML started at $750 for a minimum of five simultaneous users.…”

“…Beyond 25 simultaneous users, one could purchase additional seats singly at $50 each. 71 Early reports showed that Naxos Digital Services was amenable to price negotiations for larger institutions and consortium-like licensing. 72 In spite of Heymann's assertions that there were no plans for NML to be marketed to individual consumers, NML now also offers individual subscriptions at $225 annually for a high-bandwidth connection and $150 for low bandwidth.…”

More Than Just a Budget Label: A History of Naxos

This article surveys the activities of the internationally acclaimed, budget classical recording label Naxos, from its founding in 1987 to the end of 2010. Naxos's dedication to developing a comprehensive catalog and retailing at low prices has brought the company great success not only as a record label but also as a publisher, a distributor, and an electronic-content vendor. However, Naxos caters primarily to classical music fans, not to higher education needs. Thus, academic libraries and their patrons have been and will likely remain as secondary clientele in Naxos's overall commercial interests.

Pasts and Futures of Digital Humanities in Musicology: Moving Towards a “Bigger Tent”

Musicologists and music theorists have traditionally been early adopters of technological tools to assist with research. The earliest digital humanities projects in musicology and music theory came directly out of humanities computing and quantitative analytical technologies developed in the 1980s, but newer projects created since the mid-2000s still reflect this past of algorithmic analysis and archival compilation, retrieval, and display. Computational and archival research is, currently, only one branch of digital humanities. The umbrella of digital humanities research now also includes digital publishing, philosophies of digital research, and "born digital" projects that cannot exist outside of a digital medium (e.g., virtual reality or 3D modeling). This shift in the digital humanities represents a move to a "bigger tent" that includes more types of projects. Musicological and musico-theoretical scholarship is slowly moving in this direction.Music librarians have been at the forefront of identifying and promoting new digital tools and archives, even though these projects have tended to remain at the periphery of musico-theoretical discourse. They should be on the lookout for "bigger tent" projects, such as medieval and renaissance projects like the Isabelle D'Este Archive, Opening the Geesebook, and the Experience of Worship. These projects are characterized by being iterative and multi-modally engaging, as well as emerging from communities of practice and intentionally engaging a public audience. Music librarians should also be aware of systemic challenges to creating and supporting digital projects because these issues are at the center of libraries supporting all types of digital scholarship.
